Browse source 
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.

> **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)
