Phase 2: Experiment Clustering
Section titled βPhase 2: Experiment ClusteringβVault Organization Level: Phase 2 Complete β
Overview
Section titled βOverviewβThe 02-EXPERIMENTS folder contains 40+ markdown documents organized into semantic clusters. Each cluster represents a research tradition within the consciousness program.
