Implement SOUL-WP-0011: sufficiency position, coverage matrix, Soul packaging

- T01: research/sufficiency-and-weighting-position.md — reject universal
  weights; necessity core (B1/B3), claim-relative P minimal profiles,
  continuity configuration classes with causal privilege; OpenQuestions
  RQ1/RQ2/RQ5 weighting bullets positioned
- T02: research/coverage-matrix.md — nine INTENT entity types under the
  full vocabulary; success criterion verdict: pass with two strain points
- T03: concepts/soul.md packaging resolved (enacted vs residual Soul);
  RQ4 no longer carries a paper-critical open item
- SCOPE.md work-surface bullets updated; workplan finished

Soul continuity can **cross Being-identity discontinuities** (legacy, models in
others, works, Ghosts).
## Packaging (resolved 2026-09-28, SOUL-WP-0011-T03)
**Position: both — relations and consequences — as two modes of one
dimension, asymmetrically:**
| Mode | Content | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| **Enacted Soul** | live relationships, standing commitments, reputation-in-use | an Active Being (or Continuation-Bearing State) on at least one side |
| **Residual Soul** | propagated consequences: works, records, models held by others, reputation-at-rest | no living bearer — persists independently |
Relations are the **constitutive core**; consequences are the same
relational structure **persisting after enactment stops**. This is one
dimension in two modes, not two dimensions: every consequence in residual
Soul is the trace of a relation, and residual Soul can be *re-enacted*
(a reader takes up the works; a `Gh.` resumes a relationship).
Why this packaging and not either alternative:
- *Relations only* would make Criteria §17's TERMINATED note ("Soul/
relational effects may nevertheless continue") incoherent — something
persists past the last relation-capable manifestation.
- *Consequences only* would collapse Soul into provenance/legacy and lose
H5's operational content for living Beings (the Soul of an active Being
is mostly enacted, not residual).
**Cluster D under this packaging:** `Gh.` inheritance is *residual Soul
taken up for re-enactment under authority* (H10) — structure inherited,
identity not. The inheritance claim survives unchanged; the packaging in
fact names its mechanism.

copy, or stay shared?)
