## RQ1 — What constitutes a Being?

**Phase I status:** refined, not closed.
Working answer: multi-layer profile (autonomous individuality + personhood +
addressability + recognition). Still open:
- Weighting and thresholds of B1–B8
- Observer-relative individuation without arbitrariness
- Nested levels (colony, collective, multi-Body)

for Beinghood established (daemon false positive).
- Descriptive vs social vs moral vs legal still must stay distinct
- Dimension list for descriptive personhood incomplete
