# Spirit (`Sp.`)
**Status:** revised (Phase V, 2026-08-12)
**See also:** H9, H10, RQ8, TE-07, `research/spirits/spirit-criteria-map.md`
## Working definition
A **Spirit** is an artificial character primarily derived through reflection on a
known historical, contemporary, or fictional personality, typically from
**publicly legitimate** sources.
Designation: **`Albert Einstein Sp.`**
> How might an entity *inspired by* this personality behave and understand?
**Not** a claim of identity with the source. Provenance = inspiration, not continuity.
## Spec vs instantiation vs Being
| Stage | Status |
|---|---|
| Specification | Character/provenance package |
| Instantiation | Running APE / process |
| Spirit-Being | Only if Beinghood layers met |
Lineage of the Spirit-being **begins at instantiation**.
