# Body
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
||
|
|
**Working gloss:** Body = Action
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Working definition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The **Body** is the operational dimension of a Being: the means through which it
|
||
|
|
perceives, operates, and affects its environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For artificial beings this may include language interfaces, APIs, tools, sensors,
|
||
|
|
databases, actuators, communication channels, avatars, compute, and permissions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes for research
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Body is not identical with identity; components may be replaced.
|
||
|
|
- Distributed and replaceable artificial bodies are expected.
|
||
|
|
- Connect to embodiment literature without requiring biological embodiment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Open issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Minimal body for a Being?
|
||
|
|
- Relation between Body and Actor.
