  1. Reconstructing Propositions: Symbols, Facts, and the Empirical Framework
    Reconstructing propositions through Ayer and Ryle's eliminativist project, this paper develops an anti-representationalist framework grounding propositions in linguistic practices rather than.
  2. A Functional Theory of Qualia
    Jennings proposes qualia emerges from recursive self-monitoring architecture creating electrochemical differentials in biological tissue, with implications for AI consciousness assessment.
  3. Instructions can provide reasons by conveying practical information
    Explore how instructions convey information about rational conclusions and establish reasons for action, bridging the philosophical gap between declarative and imperative sentences in decision-making.
  4. Maximal effort linked to greater preference for correct performance

  5. Mental imagery varies from absent to unusually vivid
    Analysis of visual imagery spectrum including phantasia, aphantasia, and hyperphantasia; neurological characteristics, memory associations, and functional outcomes across populations.
  6. Contextual Bohmian mechanics is presented as a solution to the macro-object problem
    Contextual Bohmian Mechanics with local context field resolves Albert's Macro-Object Problem for primitive ontology quantum mechanics through hylomorphic composition of matter and form.
