Complete Phase II interaction (SOUL-WP-0003)

Map model-based mind, co-adaptive social cognition, and recognition/social
Beinghood into instruments and workstream notes. Support H3/H4/H7, judge TE-09,
write phase-ii-interaction-synthesis.md, finish SOUL-WP-0003, and mark
SOUL-WP-0004 ready.

**Status:** retained / refined (Phase II, 2026-08-12)

## Working definition

> **Mind = Model**
“Model” means an **action-guiding structure that can be revised**, not only
explicit propositional representation.
## Precedents
| Tradition | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Ashby cybernetics | regulation, variety |
| Conant & Ashby 1970 | good regulator requires a model |
| Extended / distributed cognition | Mind not confined to a single substrate |
| Ashby; Conant & Ashby 1970 | regulation requires a model |
| Predictive processing / active inference | generative models unite perception and action |
| Inverse planning (Baker et al.) | Other-Model as inference from behavior |
| Extended / distributed cognition | Mind not confined to one substrate |
| Social cognition (RN-006) | self/other/relation models co-adapt through interaction |
## Notes
## Social Mind model families
- Prefer model-based control over intelligence or consciousness as foundation.
- “Model” should not be restricted to explicit propositional representation only
(enactive critiques remain open — OQ-055).
- Co-adaptive model building is joint evolution through interaction, not model exchange.
| ID | Model |
|---|---|
| SM1 | World |
| SM2 | Self |
| SM3 | Other |
| SM4 | Reflected-Self |
| SM5 | Relationship |
| SM6 | Shared Situation |
| SM7 | Common Ground |
| SM8 | Generalized Social |
Social Mind is a specialization of Mind for multi-Being interaction — not a
second kind of mind.
## Co-adaptive model building
Joint evolution of models through interaction (not model exchange). Models can
be self-confirming or self-defeating because they change the evidence stream.
Definition: `research/social-cognition/co-adaptive-model-building.md`
## Quality metrics (beyond accuracy)
Calibration, revisability, differentiation of counterparts, perspective
separation (mine / yours / yours-of-mine).
## Crosswalk (Phase II)
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| generative model (PP) | action-guiding predictive structure | PP often neural-centric |
| theory of mind | other-modeling | ToM often private; Social Mind is interactional |
| common ground | shared acceptance | one model family (SM7), not whole Mind |
| participatory sense-making | interaction constitutes understanding | may reject “model” vocabulary |
## Open issues
- Minimal model apparatus for a Mind
- Recursive depth for social personhood
- Collective / distributed Mind boundaries (TE-05)
- OQ-055 precise scope of “model”
- Recursive depth for personhood (OQ-056)
- Collective Mind boundaries (OQ-067)

# Recognition
**Status:** revised (Phase I, 2026-08-12)

## Three senses
| 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 |
| Sense | Meaning | Adjacent work |
|---|---|---|
| **Epistemic** | Identify/track as the same entity | reidentification, addressability |
| **Intentional** | Treat as agent with goals/beliefs | Dennett intentional stance; Theory of Mind |
| **Social / normative** | Standing, perspective, claims matter among us | Honneth recognition theory; Mead; trust/reputation |
Do not collapse these senses.
## Layer model
```text
Autonomous individuality → may exist unrecognized
Intentional recognition → treated as agent-like
Addressability → can be specifically targeted
Social Beinghood → persistent reciprocal models, relations,
expectations, commitments, reputation
```
## 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.
| Level | Role of recognition |
|---|---|
| Autonomous individuality | **not required** |
| Social Beinghood | **constitutive** (H7) |
| Soul Frame “Being” as *someone another can know* | recognition + personhood + addressability on autonomous base (Beinghood v0.2), with TE-09 pressure |
**Caution:** intentional recognition **over-generates** (APE false positives).
Recognition alone does not create systemic individuality (RN-001 Finding 10).
## 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.
> 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.
## Related
## TE-09 (summary)
- **Addressability** — ability to target the entity specifically
- **Social Being** — embedded in reciprocal models and relations
Unrecognized coherent intelligence can be an autonomous individual without
Social Beinghood. See sociology map for full judgment.
