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.

## Collision analysis
High risk with religious/metaphysical “soul”. Retention depends on explanatory
payoff of the relational reading. Rename remains open (RQ4).
High risk with religious/metaphysical “soul”. **RQ4 resolved 2026-09-28:
retain.** The explanatory payoff of the relational reading (H5) and the
Body/Mind/Soul mnemonic outweigh the collision cost; the cost is managed by
keeping the non-metaphysical disclaimer explicit and prominent everywhere
the term is introduced, not by renaming.
## Open issues
1. Relations vs accumulated consequences vs both (packaging)
2. Rename candidates if collision cost exceeds value
3. How Soul relates to lineage after forks
