1. In all, I spent 10 hours in 2Q17 on this project (29 hours YTD, where by “YTD” – Year to Date – I mean the (academic) year commenced in October 2016). That’s 77% of the planned effort (74% YTD). Overall, 2% of my Project effort was directed towards this project (1% YTD) – as against 2% planned (2% YTD).

• Books: My book-categorisations start with subject area, which seems a mistake. My categorisation methodology needs sorting out as a priority in my Web-tools⁴ project. The candidate sections would seem to be:-
  → Mind - Consciousness
  → Psychology - Consciousness
  → Science - Consciousness
• Papers: See my:-
  → Consolidated Papers on Consciousness.
