# Body
**Status:** retained (Phase I, 2026-08-12)
**Working gloss:** Body = Action
## Working definition
The operational dimension of a Being: channels of perception and action.
For artificial beings: language interfaces, APIs, tools, sensors, databases,
actuators, avatars, compute, permissions — possibly distributed and replaceable.
## Phase I notes
- Body ≠ identity; RN-005 Body replacement can preserve Being with continuity.
- Multi-Body manifestation need not be a fork if constitutive integration holds.
- Body is present-tense coupling; Soul carries diachronic relation.
## Open issues
- Minimal body for a Being?
- Relation between Body and Actor (Actor is technical manifestation stack;
Body is the functional action dimension — often overlapping in practice).
