# Recognition
**Status:** provisional
**See also:** H7, RQ6, TE-09
**Status:** revised (Phase I, 2026-08-12)
**See also:** H7, RQ6, TE-09, RN-001 Findings 810
## Working definition
## Three senses
**Recognition** is the treatment of a system by other beings as a distinguishable,
addressable, continuous counterpart with which models and relationships can be
maintained.
| Sense | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Epistemic | Detect/classify an entity |
| Intentional | Treat as agent with goals/beliefs (cf. intentional stance) |
| Social / normative | Treat as counterpart in relationships, obligations, reputation |
Working social principle:
## Role in Beinghood
Recognition is **constitutive of social Beinghood**, not of bare autonomous
individuality. Beinghood v0.2 includes recognition among requirement families
for the intended “someone” category — TE-09 still pressures that packaging.
## Working social principle
> A system becomes socially relevant as a Being when other beings can distinguish
> it, address it, expect continuity from it, maintain models of it, and enter
> persistent relationships with it.
## Notes for research
## Related
- Distinguish systemic existence from social recognition of existence.
- Connect to recognition theory, symbolic interactionism, intersubjectivity.
- **Addressability** — ability to target the entity specifically
- **Social Being** — embedded in reciprocal models and relations
