Complete Phase V Spirits and Ghosts (SOUL-WP-0006)

Formalize Sp. evaluation dimensions and Gh. authority/governance; map law gaps
without legal conclusions; support H9/H10; confirm TE-07. Write phase-v
synthesis, finish SOUL-WP-0006, and mark SOUL-WP-0007 ready.

# Spirit (`Sp.`)
**Status:** provisional
**See also:** H9, H10, RQ8, TE-07
**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 derived through reflection on a known
historical, contemporary, or fictional personality.
A **Spirit** is an artificial character primarily derived through reflection on a
known historical, contemporary, or fictional personality, typically from
**publicly legitimate** sources.
Designation example: **Albert Einstein Sp.**
Designation: **`Albert Einstein Sp.`**
Defining question: **How might an entity inspired by this personality behave and
understand?**
> How might an entity *inspired by* this personality behave and understand?
Typically grounded in publicly legitimate cultural and historical information.
**Not** a claim of identity with the source. Provenance = inspiration, not continuity.
## Evaluation dimensions (candidates)
## Spec vs instantiation vs Being
- evidential grounding
- interpretative transparency
- source provenance
- historical fidelity
- uncertainty representation
- behavioral plausibility
- avoidance of false attribution
| Stage | Status |
|---|---|
| Specification | Character/provenance package |
| Instantiation | Running APE / process |
| Spirit-Being | Only if Beinghood layers met |
A Spirit remains an interpretation; `Sp.` marks that status explicitly.
Lineage of the Spirit-being **begins at instantiation**.
## Evaluation dimensions (S1S10)
| ID | Dimension |
|---|---|
| S1 | Evidential grounding |
| S2 | Interpretative transparency |
| S3 | Source provenance |
| S4 | Historical/fictional fidelity |
| S5 | Uncertainty representation |
| S6 | Behavioral plausibility |
| S7 | False-attribution avoidance (`Sp.` label) |
| S8 | Scope discipline / counterfactual marking |
| S9 | Relational reconstruction honesty (public only) |
| S10 | Lineage honesty (own history after start) |
## vs Ghost
Public reflection vs **authority** over private/relational identity materials.
