Add paper-dialogues research line; scaffold Deppert commentary

Establish a parallel comparative-reading track: one external work at a time,
with commentary and support/challenge matrix against Soul Frame. First entry
is Wolfgang Deppert, Die Evolution des Bewusstseins (bibliographic identity
still to lock).

+001 — Wolfgang Deppert: Die Evolution des Bewusstseins
+======================================================
+
+Paper-dialogue entry for Soul Frame.
+
+Work
+----
+Author:  Wolfgang Deppert
+Title:   Die Evolution des Bewusstseins
+Language: German (expected; confirm against the edition used)
+Type:    to be locked in bibliographic-note.md (book / essay / lecture text)
+
+This directory is the working home for:
+
+  bibliographic-note.md     citation lock + abstract in Deppert's terms
+  reading-notes.md          section/claim notes while reading
+  commentary.md             comparative commentary vs Soul Frame
+  support-challenge-matrix.md
+  glossary-bridge.md        Deppert term <-> Soul Frame term (optional but likely needed)
+
+Procedure
+---------
+Follow research/paper-dialogues/README.txt.
+
+Priority questions for this dialogue
+------------------------------------
+Deppert's title centers *Bewusstsein* (consciousness). Soul Frame deliberately
+treats consciousness as first-person relevant but not the primary third-person
+criterion of Beinghood. This paper is therefore a natural stress test for:
+
+  - Mind vs consciousness
+  - evolution / development of awareness vs co-adaptive model building
+  - whether "Bewusstsein" maps to Mind, personhood, recognition, or something
+    Soul Frame currently refuses to place at the center
+  - implications (if any) for artificial beings
+
+Status
+------
+Scaffolded: 2026-08-12
+Next step: lock the exact bibliographic identity (edition, year, pages) and
+begin internal reconstruction in reading-notes.md before Soul Frame translation.

+## Unit of analysis

+Whole work unless we later restrict to specific chapters. Lock this before deep
+commentary so page references stay stable.
+
+## Abstract in the source's own vocabulary
+
+*(Fill after first full pass — no Soul Frame terms yet.)*
+
+## Why selected for Soul Frame
+
+```text
+Relevance:
+  Consciousness-centered evolutionary/developmental account of mind-like
+  phenomena. Direct pressure test for Soul Frame's choice to decenter
+  consciousness as the interop criterion of Beinghood while still needing a
+  disciplined place for Bewusstsein-talk.
+
+Risk (collision / scope creep):
+  High terminological collision around Bewusstsein, Geist, evolution.
+  Risk of absorbing a consciousness theory Soul Frame explicitly postponed.
+  Keep Step 2 (internal reconstruction) strict.
+```

+
+*(Write only after reading-notes pass.)*
+
+## 2. Method and scope of the paper
+
+## 3. Translation into Soul Frame vocabulary
+
+| Paper term / claim | Nearest Soul Frame term | Fit |
+|---|---|---|
+| Bewusstsein | consciousness / Mind / personhood (TBD) | |
+| Evolution des … | development / continuity / lineage (TBD) | |
+
+## 4. Where Soul Frame is supported
+
+## 5. Where Soul Frame is challenged
+
+Likely pressure points (hypotheses before reading — revise after):
+
+- Consciousness as primary vs Soul Frame third-person recognition stance  
+- Evolutionary narrative of mind vs model-based Mind (H3)  
+- Possible moral or anthropological assumptions about personhood  
+
+## 6. Extensions offered by the paper
+
+## 7. Orthogonal material (park for later)
+
+## 8. Implications for artificial beings / Sp. / Gh. (if any)
+
+## 9. Proposed follow-ups
+
+- [ ] Update `Claims.md`
+- [ ] Update `OpenQuestions.md`
+- [ ] Update concept note(s):
+- [ ] New thought experiment:
+- [ ] Bibliography entry in `sources/bibliography.md`
+
+## 10. Working judgment
+
+```text
+Net effect on Soul Frame:
+  mostly support | mixed | serious challenge | orthogonal
+One-sentence judgment:
