Why YOU are especially important with respect to this Project

I am going to confess to you that I am in decline, as I am nearing the end of my life cycle. Still, I have presented my best to you over the last 7-8 months, basically by saying things I could have said at some time or other in the last couple of decades. Now, in fact, I could NOT generate this grand perspective well in any instance nor fully today and cannot even really have the full appreciation for it, which once abided with me (and was always helpful as I moved forward) (nothing consistently helps me now). To say it another way: You have heard from my middle-aged self, and not really from me (my old, aka &quot;senior citizen&quot; self, my present self). Thus know that I will likely not be able to further contribute. IT IS ALL UP TO YOU. If the perspective (and it is a consistent, integrated perspective) is fully understood by YOU, it may well be of help to YOU, as it was to me for decades (even as it developed). All the Questions I have asked HERE on researchgate.net and all the Answers I have provided here, totaling about 300 pages of essays, are all basically from this grand, useful perspective (much of the evidence for its usefulness being personal, phenomenological -- which for new things must sometimes suffice; BUT if you 'see', recall, and understand (consolidate/integrate) better and see more with a certain grand perspective, not only can you tell but its aid for retention and integration and recall and for moving forward is/would be apparent if measured in any way (as it once, at least indirectly, was for me, with my graduate student performance and with the several unique and appreciated aspects of teaching performance, over many years). I have presented the basic perspective in my 2 main (longer) papers AND, now (literally: &quot;by now&quot;) have presented the consequent outlooks on many major questions, issues, theories, models and subject matters, from a full-blown version of the major perspectives (together, being the internally and likely (or very arguably) externally consistent &quot;grand perspective&quot;). Again, I shall very likely not be able to explicate further -- this is my very strong sense, sadly (I no longer have &quot;my moments&quot;, or very, very rarely: VERY little of any notable importance now, anymore). Again, I realize and know it was my past self &quot;speaking&quot; in these last 7-8 months. I thus want now to make it clear the responsibility of others for moving forward: The basic research, which now can be done with eye-tracking and computer analysis software, IS YET TO BE DONE. AND, I cannot do that (either). Read my last Project Update for the role that is needed from you. It's now all up to you.

Still looking for lead/head Collaborator to do the needed research

Still looking for interested party to do the needed research AND IN A POSITION TO DO SO. You, then, of course would become the head Collaborator on/of this Project. I sincerely regret that I can offer likely little more than that in my existing major papers (available via researchgate.net) and in my many essays in my Questions and in my Answers here (on researchgate.net) -- already posted. Any system, no matter how well-founded and internally and externally consistent, will seem sparse until someone takes the chance to do the new, needed basic research. Still, this Project author cannot help but strongly feel profound regrets with the likelihood that he cannot offer any more. As good possible progress remains unfulfilled, at the same time, I can not think of how to provide any more impetus (of any kind, in any way). I am sorry.
