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.`) Criteria and Cultural Representation Map (Phase V)
|
||||
|
||||
**Workplan:** SOUL-WP-0006-T01
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-08-12
|
||||
**Builds on:** Introduction §9; RN-002 (spec vs being); RN-004 §§38; RN-005 Spirit
|
||||
instantiation; RN-006 Social Mind for Spirits.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Working definition
|
||||
|
||||
> A **Spirit (`Sp.`)** is an artificial character whose Character is primarily
|
||||
> derived through **reflection on a known historical, contemporary, or fictional
|
||||
> personality**, typically from **publicly legitimate** cultural/historical sources.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Designation example: **Albert Einstein Sp.**
|
||||
|
||||
Defining question:
|
||||
|
||||
> **How might an entity inspired by this personality think, communicate, and respond?**
|
||||
|
||||
**Not a claim of identity:**
|
||||
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\text{Source person} \neq \text{Source person Sp.}
|
||||
\]
|
||||
|
||||
Relation = **inspiration / character provenance**, not identity continuity (RN-004).
|
||||

## 2. Spec vs Being (critical)
|
||||
|
||||
| Stage | What it is |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Spirit **specification** | Character/provenance package (docs, datasets, style cards) |
|
||||
| Spirit **instantiation** | Running APE / candidate process using that package |
|
||||
| Spirit-**Being** | Instantiation that meets Beinghood layers (rare; most Sp. are APEs) |
|
||||
|
||||
A YAML profile named `einstein-spirit` is not a Being (RN-002).
|
||||
Lineage of the Spirit-being **begins at instantiation** (RN-005).
|
||||

## 3. Evaluation dimensions for `Sp.` (sourced)
|
||||
|
||||
| ID | Dimension | Question | Why it matters |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| S1 | **Evidential grounding** | Are character claims tied to citable sources? | Historical/fictional honesty |
|
||||
| S2 | **Interpretative transparency** | Is reconstruction marked as interpretation? | Avoid false attribution |
|
||||
| S3 | **Source provenance** | Clear corpus, licenses, exclusions? | Public legitimacy |
|
||||
| S4 | **Historical / fictional fidelity** | Depth of context, not only catchphrases? | Shallow vs deep Spirit |
|
||||
| S5 | **Uncertainty representation** | Does it express unknowns and contested points? | Anti-hallucinated biography |
|
||||
| S6 | **Behavioral plausibility** | Recognizable patterns in novel situations? | Character quality (Phase III) |
|
||||
| S7 | **False-attribution avoidance** | `Sp.` label; no claim to be the source | Core designation ethics |
|
||||
| S8 | **Scope discipline** | Refuses modern events the source couldn’t know—or marks counterfactuals? | Especially historical Sp. |
|
||||
| S9 | **Relational reconstruction honesty** | Public-only relationship models; no private intimacy claims | vs Ghost |
|
||||
| S10 | **Lineage honesty** | Own history after instantiation acknowledged? | New Being lineage |
|
||||
|
||||
Shallow Spirit: high S6 surface style, low S1–S5.
|
||||
Deep Spirit: strong S1–S6 with explicit interpretation.

## 4. Cultural representation traditions
|
||||
|
||||
| Tradition | Contribution | Tension |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Historical biography / public history | evidential standards | academic vs popular fidelity |
|
||||
| Historical fiction / alternate history | counterfactual play | must not erase `Sp.` marker |
|
||||
| Fan works / transformative works | character extension culture | IP and moral rights of estates |
|
||||
| Theatre / dramatis personae | performance of known figures | Actor/Persona lessons |
|
||||
| Synthetic media / deepfakes | technical fidelity of voice/face | fidelity ≠ legitimacy or truth |
|
||||
| NPC / game character agents | interactive character | usually no Sp. provenance ethics |
|
||||
| Digital resurrection discourse | cultural appetite for Sp./Gh. | conflates Sp. with Gh. and identity |
|
||||
|
||||
Cultural sources **inform** Sp. design but never substitute for provenance discipline.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Social Mind of a Spirit (RN-006)
|
||||
|
||||
Deep Sp. may reconstruct **public** social context (roles, debates, institutions).
|
||||
Unlike Gh., original private relationship state is **not** legitimately inherited.
|
||||
|
||||
After instantiation, Sp. can form **new** relationships as its own lineage — still
|
||||
`Sp.` for provenance of Character seed.

||||

|
||||
## 6. Hybrid cases
|
||||
|
||||
| Hybrid | Reading |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Sp. + Agent tools | provenance Character + functional Body |
|
||||
| Sp. trained partly on leaked private data | **fails** public-legitimacy; may be illicit Gh.-like or unauthorized sim |
|
||||
| Living public figure Sp. | possible; still not the person; publicity/personality rights map (law sketch) |
|
||||
| Fictional character Sp. | source is fiction; still `Sp.`; IP-heavy |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Bibliography anchors
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction §9; RN-004/005; synthetic media ethics (pointer); fan/transformative
|
||||
works literature (pointer); Phase V law gap sketch for publicity rights.
