Two corrections at the
edge of description.
Each work isolates a point where a useful distinction is promoted into a larger conclusion it has not established—then asks what genuinely remains once that excess is removed.

The Logic of Liberation Without Attainment
A judgment can be true without becoming a verdict on being.
The essay distinguishes the practical fact that something is incomplete for a purpose from the felt verdict that a person, life, or present occurrence is inherently incomplete—and follows that distinction into a form of liberation that confers no higher status.

The Hard Problem of Consciousness Starts with a Subtraction
Why Experience Is Not an Extra Fact
Experience is not something added to a completed neural machine.
This monograph traces the apparent gap to a subtraction: physiology is first imagined as complete and nonexperiential, and experience is then demanded back as an additional fact. It proposes that familiar experience is the relevant integrated physiology presently happening. Undergoing, measuring, and describing it are different relations. Through measurement, neural organization, and the major objections to identity, the book asks what science would have to discover for that proposal to succeed or fail.
