## Working definition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Character** is a relatively persistent structure of dispositions from which
|
||
|
|
context-dependent behavior emerges.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Distinct from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **state** (fast-changing conditions),
|
||
|
|
- **behavior** (contextual expression),
|
||
|
|
- **role** / **persona** (situated projection),
|
||
|
|
- **identity** (sameness of the Being over time).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes for research
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Artificial character should produce recognizable patterns across novel situations,
|
||
|
|
not merely imitate vocabulary or mannerisms.
