# SOUL-WP-0011 — Phase X: Sufficiency, Coverage, and Soul Packaging

## Goal

Close the three gaps the 2026-09-28 scope-vs-intent assessment
(`history/260928-scope-intent-gap-assessment.md`) ranked as most relevant
and addressable now:

- **G1** — the framework has no stated position on weighting/sufficiency
  for its B-, P-, and continuity profiles, though thresholds are
  load-bearing in Beinghood v0.2 and across the TE catalog.
- **G2** — INTENT's success criterion (one vocabulary across nine
  reference entity types, with meaningful distinctions) has never been
  exercised as an explicit test.
- **G3** — Soul packaging (relations vs consequences vs both) is the last
  remaining paper-critical open item (RQ4).

## Tasks

### T01 — Sufficiency and weighting position paper

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0011-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "f4e4b427-4abb-52ce-ba29-a7360d6bf7c7"
```

Write `research/sufficiency-and-weighting-position.md`: a principled
position on how (or whether) B1–B8, P1–P12, and the six continuity
channels aggregate into sufficiency judgments ("enough personhood for
Beinghood v0.2", "CONTINUOUS vs DEGRADED"). A principled refusal of
universal weights (context-of-claim relativity) is an acceptable outcome
if argued; silence is not. Must state consequences for Beinghood v0.2
phrasing and the TE working judgments that lean on thresholds.

**Done when:** the note exists, takes one defended position, and
`OpenQuestions.md` RQ1/RQ2/RQ5 weighting bullets reference it.

---

### T02 — Success-criterion coverage matrix

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0011-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3277e2fa-2e5b-51ff-b332-937d920add1d"
```

Write `research/coverage-matrix.md`: apply the full vocabulary (B-profile,
P-profile, continuity channels, addressability/recognition,
Agent/Sp./Gh. descriptors) to all nine INTENT reference entity types in
one matrix, with per-entity notes on where the vocabulary strains.
Distinctions must be *meaningful*: every pair of entity types must differ
on at least one dimension, stated explicitly or derivable from the matrix.

**Done when:** the matrix covers all nine types, strain points are named,
and the note gives an explicit pass/partial verdict on the success
criterion, cross-referenced from `INTENT.md`'s success-criterion section
readers via SCOPE.md.

---

### T03 — Soul packaging resolution

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0011-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "44e94404-219d-58cf-85e7-7d9dcd95190c"
```

Resolve RQ4's remainder: does "Soul" package relations, consequences
(persistent influence), or both — and how does Cluster D inheritance
(Gh. inheriting Soul-relational structure without identity) survive the
chosen packaging? Update `concepts/soul.md` with the outcome and mark the
RQ4 remainder resolved or narrowed in `OpenQuestions.md`.

**Done when:** `concepts/soul.md` states the packaging position with
rationale, and RQ4's "still open (paper-critical)" block reflects it.

---

## Outcome (2026-09-28)

- **T01** — `research/sufficiency-and-weighting-position.md`: universal
  cardinal weights rejected with argument; structured-qualitative scheme
  adopted (B necessity core B1·B3, claim-relative P minimal profiles,
  continuity configuration classes with causal privilege). RQ1/RQ2/RQ5
  weighting bullets now reference it. Composite-index building declared
  out of scope by position (constrains decision 0401cf28).
- **T02** — `research/coverage-matrix.md`: all nine INTENT reference
  entity types profiled under the full vocabulary; pairwise distinctness
  verified. **Success-criterion verdict: pass**, with two strain points
  (distributed AI level-addressing; radically non-human individuation/P10)
  already tracked as RQ1/RQ8 residuals.
- **T03** — Soul packaging resolved in `concepts/soul.md`: both relations
  and consequences, as **enacted** vs **residual** modes of one dimension;
  Cluster D inheritance named as residual Soul re-enacted under authority.
  RQ4 block updated; no paper-critical open item remains on RQ4.

**Residuals:** none opened — the coverage-matrix strain points and the
EPHEMERAL null-class observation stay tracked in existing registers
(RQ1/RQ8, matrix §3) as agenda, not actionable leftovers; the Cluster D
depth and fork questions remain pre-existing RQ4 residuals.
