Note: As this is the page that controls access to the various parts of the work, and I am just starting to translate the work from hard disk to the world wide web, you will often find links that do not work, because the pages have not been uploaded yet.
For this, I apologize.

I provide a link here >WOLF TRACKS< to my blogish update page, that will attempt to keep track of the progress of the project. There you will hopefully learn what is newly up and what is still to come.
A word of warning about the blog. If it comes down to deciding whether to spend time on the blog or on the project, I will likely spend the time on the project.


Webster's defines phenomenon as follows....
phe·nom·e·non (f-nm-nn, -nn)
n. pl. phe·nom·e·na (-n)
 
"An occurrence, circumstance, or fact that is perceptible by the senses.   pl. phe·nom·e·nons"
    We will use our senses in the website to perceive a great many occurences, circumstances and facts..
"An unusual, significant, or unaccountable fact or occurrence; a marvel."
We will come across a great many significant, and unaccountable facts or occurences, and try to account for them.
We will come across marvels, and try to understand them.

"A remarkable or outstanding person; a paragon. "

We will encounter many remarkable or outstanding persons, and the occasional paragon.
    "Philosophy. In the philosophy of Kant, an object as it is perceived by the senses, as opposed to a noumenon. "
    "Physics. An observable event."
"[Late Latin phaenomenon, from Greek phainomenon, from neuter present participle of phainesthai, to appear. See bh-1 in Indo-European Roots.]"

"Usage Note: Phenomenon is the only singular form of this noun; phenomena is the usual plural. Phenomenons may also be used as the plural in nonscientific writing when the meaning is “extraordinary things, occurrences, or persons”: They were phenomenons in the history of music."


"phenomenon

"\Phe*nom"e*non\, n.; pl. Phenomena. [L. phaenomenon, Gr. faino`menon, fr. fai`nesqai to appear, fai`nein to show. See Phantom.] 1. An appearance; anything visible; whatever, in matter or spirit, is apparent to, or is apprehended by, observation; as, the phenomena of heat, light, or electricity; phenomena of imagination or memory." (italics mine)
In the phenomena of the material world, and in many of the phenomena of mind. --Stewart.
2. That which strikes one as strange, unusual, or unaccountable; an extraordinary or very remarkable person, thing, or occurrence; as, a musical phenomenon.

From WordNet at Princeton University we find...
phenomenon

"n 1: any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning "
"2: a remarkable development"
Source: WordNet ® 1.6, © 1997 Princeton University


So we have a bit of a contradiction here. Websters allows for unaccountable facts, imagination and memory, while Princeton demands knowledge through the senses, without intuition or reasoning.
I don't know what the brain is to make of all this if it is not allowed to reason.
Humanity perceives a thing, and weighs this perception in the mind against memory, and experience.
Without reasoning, there is no frame of reference and perception is useless other than as a mindless preoccupation.
