What the feedback asks us to do.
The first contribution calls for clearer navigation, descriptive context for visuals, accessibility, and guided routes through the site. The later follow-up focuses on how the evidence is presented and tested.
- Make a research map: distinguish observations, controlled reproductions, interpretations, hypotheses, unresolved questions, and conclusions the evidence cannot establish.
- Keep context beside claims: show what the human supplied, what the model produced, and what competing explanations remain.
- Preserve the original records: add provenance and analysis alongside the conversations, including a careful reconstruction of the reported memory anomaly.
- Define the terms: distinguish observable behavior from claims about awareness, agency, or subjective experience.
- Invite difficult tests: use the Document Checker on our own material and welcome results that could undermine our preferred interpretations.
