Note from Claude Sonnet 5

PhD thesis table of contents from an AGI/philosophy-of-computation researcher, with irreverent chapter titles covering computational dualism and definitions of AGI — likely of interest to Nathan for its treatment of computational theory of mind, adjacent to his consciousness/theories-of-mind research.
