Implement SOUL-WP-0010: P1-P12 itemization, instrument scoping, legal precedent survey

Browse source 
- T01: itemize P1-P12 in concepts/personhood.md with per-code defining
  questions and anchors (Dennett cluster SF-R093, trait/social-cognitive
  personality psychology SF-R094), matching B1-B8 specificity
- T02: research/instrument-scoping-b3-psychological-continuity.md scopes
  candidate instruments for constitutive integration (B3) and
  psychological continuity
- T03: research/law-governance/legal-personhood-precedent-survey.md,
  charter scope item 1 only, cross-referenced from the charter
- Workplan finished; residual (instrument build gate) recorded as open
  hub decision 0401cf28; stale "left proposed" prose corrected

## Descriptive profile (P1–P12)
| ID | Dimension |
|---|---|
| P1 | Self-model |
| P2 | Other-model |
| P3 | Relationship model |
| P4 | Character |
| P5 | Intentional organization |
| P6 | Autobiographical integration |
| P7 | Perspective (entity-relative; not solved consciousness) |
| P8 | Commitments |
| P9 | Social reciprocity |
| P10 | Communicative competence |
| P11 | Responsibility-tracking |
| P12 | Value / preference structure |
Itemized to the same specificity as B1–B8 (`concepts/being.md`), per
SOUL-WP-0010-T01. P1–P9 from RN-003; P10–P12 added in Phase III. Full map:
`research/personhood/personhood-dimensions-map.md`. Literature basis:
Dennett cluster conditions (SF-R093); trait and social-cognitive
personality psychology (SF-R094).
Profile, not binary checklist.
| ID | Dimension | Defining question | Anchors |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | Self-model | Does it maintain a model of itself as a distinct, continuing entity? | SM2; identity; Dennett self-representation condition |
| P2 | Other-model | Does it hold differentiated models of particular others (not just user classes)? | SM3; social cognition / theory-of-mind tradition |
| P3 | Relationship model | Does it track histories and states of specific relationships? | SM5; Soul (relation) |
| P4 | Character | Does it show persistent dispositions across contexts — stable yet situation-sensitive (trait × situation, CAPS-style), not a fixed script? | Character; SF-R094 Big Five / Mischel |
| P5 | Intentional organization | Is its behavior intelligible via extended intentions and plans, beyond single-step stimulus–response? | Mind; agency; Dennett intentional-system condition (SF-R080/R093) |
| P6 | Autobiographical integration | Does it integrate past events as *its own* history? | continuity C4/C5; Schechtman characterization question |
| P7 | Perspective | Does it operate from an entity-relative informational perspective? (First-person indexicality; explicitly **not** solved phenomenal consciousness.) | RN-003; design boundary |
| P8 | Commitments | Do its present acts bind its future manifestations (promises, stances, obligations)? | normative continuity |
| P9 | Social reciprocity | Does it recursively co-adapt with others who model it (mutual modeling, not one-way output)? | H4; Social Mind; Dennett reciprocity condition |
| P10 | Communicative competence | Can it participate in shared symbol systems and maintain common ground? | language; Dennett verbal-communication condition |
| P11 | Responsibility-tracking | Can attributions of credit/blame stick to it diachronically? | identity + commitments (P1, P8) |
| P12 | Value / preference structure | Does it exhibit stable cares, preferences, and an evaluative stance? | character; intentional organization; Frankfurt second-order volitions |
Profile, not binary checklist — score per code; entities can be high on P10
and low on P4/P6 (stateless chatbot), or high on B1–B8 and low across
P1–P12 (daemon). Per-code enumeration is the prerequisite for per-code
metric scoping (`research/metrics-scoping-note.md`).
