	~~- Who is reading the thesis proposal?~~

	~~- Since I am constant reorganizing and synthesizing my content, the hierarchy and focus of the questions might shift. I hope I have made the process clear, but if not, please add editor's notes.~~

	~~- I started reading about autotheory, which I find fitting in contextualizing this mode of address. I will include that soon in my synopsis.~~
