# SOUL-WP-0009 — Phase VIII: Research Agenda and External Review
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Goal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Carry forward the open research agenda from the frozen paper draft
|
|||
|
|
(`history/260928-SOUL-WP-0008-paper-freeze-v1.md` §17; `paper/draft.md` §16–17)
|
|||
|
|
and decide the publication/external-review pathway. This workplan is the
|
|||
|
|
residual of SOUL-WP-0008 — the freeze candidate is a stable snapshot, not a
|
|||
|
|
finished paper, and the items below are multi-step research/decision work
|
|||
|
|
that should not be parked in `SCOPE.md` prose.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Depends on
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **SOUL-WP-0008** Phase VII paper (freeze candidate: T01–T04 done, 2026-09-28)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Tasks
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### T01 — Soul naming decision (RQ4)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T01
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: medium
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Resolve retain-vs-rename for "Soul" (Terminology.md; draft §8, §16.1). Produce
|
|||
|
|
a decision record, not just more discussion — this has been open since
|
|||
|
|
Phase I.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** decision recorded (`record_decision`/`resolve_decision`) with
|
|||
|
|
rationale, and `Terminology.md` + `paper/draft.md` updated to match.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### T02 — Continuity dimension weighting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T02
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: medium
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Develop a principled way to weigh conflicts between continuity dimensions
|
|||
|
|
(causal, organizational, psychological, autobiographical/narrative,
|
|||
|
|
normative, relational) for hard cases (draft §16.2). Test against TE-02,
|
|||
|
|
TE-03, TE-04, TE-08.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** a weighting scheme (or explicit non-arithmetic decision
|
|||
|
|
procedure) is documented in `concepts/identity.md` and validated against the
|
|||
|
|
four thought experiments above.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### T03 — Recognition's seat: Being vs. Social Being
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T03
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: low
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sharpen the boundary flagged in draft §16.3 and the TE-09 asymmetric-
|
|||
|
|
recognition addition — when exactly does a recognized-but-autonomous
|
|||
|
|
individual cross into Social Beinghood?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** `concepts/being.md` / `concepts/recognition.md` state a
|
|||
|
|
testable boundary condition, checked against TE-05 and TE-09.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|

|
|
### T04 — Empirical/operational metrics scoping
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T04
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: low
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Scope (not necessarily build) measurable proxies for the A-axis (B1–B8),
|
|||
|
|
B-axis (P1–P12), and continuity profiles (draft §16.4). This is a scoping
|
|||
|
|
task — full metric development may become its own workplan.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** a scoping note exists identifying which axes are plausibly
|
|||
|
|
measurable now vs. which require new instruments.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
### T05 — Moral/legal personhood companion line (explicitly separate)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T05
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: low
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Per SCOPE.md's out-of-scope boundary ("Silent moral/legal personhood
|
|||
|
|
claims"), scope this as a **separate, explicitly-bounded** companion
|
|||
|
|
research line rather than loosening the descriptive core. Draft a one-page
|
|||
|
|
charter for that companion line (could become its own future workplan) —
|
|||
|
|
do not attempt the mapping itself here.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** a short charter note exists (e.g.
|
|||
|
|
`research/law-governance/moral-legal-personhood-charter.md`) stating scope,
|
|||
|
|
non-goals, and the explicit boundary against the descriptive core.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

### T06 — External review / publication pathway decision
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```task
|
|||
|
|
id: SOUL-WP-0009-T06
|
|||
|
|
status: todo
|
|||
|
|
priority: medium
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using the freeze candidate as the review artifact, decide the pathway:
|
|||
|
|
internal circulation, external pre-print, conference/journal target, or
|
|||
|
|
further revision cycles before either. This is a founder-gate decision.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Done when:** decision recorded via `record_decision`/`resolve_decision`
|
|||
|
|
naming the chosen pathway and next concrete step.
