I am, therefore, in favour of the scheme suggested by Shambala108. The question is: which dab term is appropriate: First Doctor (consciousness)? First Doctor (memory)? I think it is important to choose the name that would not suggest that this is the true essence of the First Doctor because Steven vehemently opposes this view and proves his point. That's why I don't like the "consciousness" variant.

I might have an idea. Looking at the page The Savages, I realised that there was a special term in the story for the process of transferring one's mind, transference. Perhaps, by calling the page First Doctor (transference) we both emphasise the secondary nature of this individual and, at the same time, indicate the origins of this rather unique form of existence? But it might be prudent to make sure first that some story or other explicitly mentions that this Doctor-in-a-jar is a result of transference. I'm still betting on The War to End All Wars in this respect.
