## 1. Paper thesis (internal reconstruction)

*(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`
