Complete SOUL-WP-0009: resolve RQ4 and publication pathway, deliver T02-T05
- T01 (RQ4): retain "Soul" - resolved with operator; Terminology.md, concepts/soul.md, OpenQuestions.md, Claims.md, paper/draft.md updated. - T02: lexicographic continuity-weighting procedure in concepts/identity.md, validated against TE-02/03/04/08. - T03: testable Being-vs-Social-Being boundary (three-part recognition test) in concepts/recognition.md and concepts/being.md, validated against TE-05/09. - T04: research/metrics-scoping-note.md - per-axis measurability scoping. - T05: research/law-governance/moral-legal-personhood-charter.md - bounded companion-line charter, explicitly not the mapping itself. - T06: publication pathway resolved with operator - internal circulation only, as paper-one for coulomb-research, following the same staged trajectory as coulomb-research's own paper-zero. Marks SOUL-WP-0009 finished. Opens SOUL-WP-0010 (proposed, not started) to carry forward the two multi-step residuals from T04/T05.

## Testable boundary: Being vs. Social Being (SOUL-WP-0009-T03, resolved 2026-09-28)
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundary condition:** Social Beinghood begins, for a given recognizer,
|
||||
the moment that recognizer holds a **persistent, addressable model** of the
|
||||
candidate across more than one interaction episode — not merely a one-off
|
||||
epistemic classification. Concretely, three things must hold simultaneously
|
||||
on at least one side of the relation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Intentional recognition** — the recognizer treats the candidate as an
|
||||
agent with goals/beliefs, not just a classified pattern.
|
||||
2. **Addressability** — the recognizer can specifically target the same
|
||||
candidate again (name, ID, channel), not just re-classify a similar one.
|
||||
3. **Model persistence across episodes** — the recognizer's model of the
|
||||
candidate carries over from one interaction to the next (expectations,
|
||||
history, revisable beliefs about it), rather than being recomputed from
|
||||
scratch each time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reciprocity is explicitly not required to start it** (TE-09): the three
|
||||
conditions above need to hold for only *one* party. A single Being's
|
||||
persistent, addressable, intentional model of an otherwise-unrecognizing
|
||||
system is sufficient to open Social Beinghood on that Being's side of the
|
||||
relation — this is what makes the asymmetric case in `paper/draft.md` §1
|
||||
and §5 well-formed rather than circular.
|
||||
|
||||
**What this rules out:** a system that is epistemically classified fresh
|
||||
each time (no model persistence) is not Socially a Being to that recognizer,
|
||||
however accurately it is classified — this is the stateless-agent case
|
||||
(TE-01) restated from the recognizer's side. A system recognized once and
|
||||
never modeled again likewise does not cross the boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
**Nested/collective test (TE-05):** apply the same three-part test
|
||||
independently at each candidate level. A collective can be Socially a Being
|
||||
at the collective level (some recognizer holds a persistent, addressable,
|
||||
intentional model of *the collective as one thing*) without that implying
|
||||
or requiring Social Beinghood at the member level, and vice versa — the
|
||||
levels are tested separately, not inherited automatically in either
|
||||
direction.
