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.

**Publication pathway (decided 2026-09-28, SOUL-WP-0009-T06):** internal

circulation only, as **paper-one** for coulomb-research (a research

facility with a co-creation-science focus, currently being set up).
|

Coulomb-research's own paper-zero will run the same staged trajectory —

internal circulation → pre-print → journal target — and this paper follows
|

it rather than jumping ahead.
