 "central_reading": "The appearance-within-consciousness candidate now has real peer-reviewed source material — Bernardo Kastrup's analytic idealism in Disputatio (2017), Philosophies (2017), Journal of Consciousness Studies (2018), and METOD (2020). These papers provide: (1) a direct argument that brain-dependence does not refute idealism, (2) a dissociation model explaining how NCCs can be extrinsic appearances of dissociative processes within universal consciousness, (3) an epistemic argument for the primacy of mind over matter, and (4) a reduction thesis that all physical structure is configuration of consciousness. Miri Albahari's perennial idealism (2019 preprint) provides a complementary cross-tradition framework. This layer fills the gap identified in the original state-of-play: the appearance candidate now has positive doctrinal content from contemporary peer-reviewed philosophy, not merely a transcendental placeholder.",
