Occasional hyper-links are provided which do not return to the main sequence, but make cross-links to other parts of the discussion connected at a different part of the sequence. Such cross-links are identified by [square brackets] to warn you that they will break the linear sequence.
Other hyperlinks are bold, indicating that they are essential to the argument, so you are recommended to take these diversions.
In a two-way discussion on the other hand, the presenter skims over points of common agreement, and responds to objections by delving deeper into the details, so that the focus of the discussion is expressly on the points of difference between the two people. This allows the discussion be tailored to the individual background of the audience.
This document is an attempt to reconstruct the interactive give-and-take of a two-way discussion by (hopefully) anticipating all possible questions and objections, and addressing them with arguments made available by an expanding tree of hyper-links.
The subject matter of this discussion is particularly pertinent to this format, because it represents a line of thought which is very different from the conventional view of perception, and although there is good solid evidence for this view, that evidence is scattered throughout a wide body of disparate fields of knowledge, with which any particular reader is almost certain to have only partial familiarity. This theory therefore represents a constellation of diverse but mutually consistent ideas which make contact with conventional knowledge only in widely separated specialties.
