Thanks for the summary, I'll look out for the roadmap. I'd just like
to clarify the role of FP2 above:

Where FP1i is an individual first-person-as-instantiated, FP2 is its
analog in what I've termed the 'shareable knowledge base' (SKB) that is
part of the structure of FP1i. The reason I make this distinction is
that when I make some unqualified reference simply to 'Bruno', it is
not thereby clear whether this is meant to indicate 'FP2 Bruno' - i.e
the representation you or I have of 'Bruno' in the SKB - or 'FP1
Bruno', the unique entity to which my FP2 analog refers. In
inter-personal dialogue, this can become really confusing because one
party may be conceptualising in an FP2-manner - i.e. thinking in a
'naturalistic' way purely in terms of the FP2 representation of the
world and its embedded FP2 representations of first persons - when the
other (usually me, I must confess) is thinking in an FP1-manner - i.e.
extrapolating from the FP2 representations to their FP1 referents. Such
confusion may be implicated in 'Chalmers' delusion' and other puzzles.
I say something about this in my comments on your earlier posts.

To be consistent, what I'm calling FP2 should be split along the lines
of FP1 into:

FP2g - representations in the SKB of FP1g
FP2i - representations in the SKB of FP1i

Does the above clarification make a difference?
