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.

# SOUL-WP-0010 — Phase IX: Metrics and Personhood Mapping (Slice 1)
## Goal
Residual of SOUL-WP-0009. Two of its completed tasks (T04 metrics scoping,
T05 moral/legal charter) each recommended follow-on work that is multi-step
and should not sit only as prose in their source notes:
- `research/metrics-scoping-note.md` found the B-axis (P1–P12) blocked on
enumeration, and recommended prioritizing instrument development for
constitutive integration (B3) and psychological continuity.
- `research/law-governance/moral-legal-personhood-charter.md` recommended a
first narrow slice ("legal personhood precedent survey only") rather than
opening the whole moral/legal question at once.
This workplan bundles both as a first slice. **Left `proposed`** — not
reviewed against current repo state or started; needs Bernd's go-ahead
before promotion to `ready`/`active`, same as SOUL-WP-0009 was.
## Depends on
- **SOUL-WP-0009** Phase VIII research agenda (finished 2026-09-28)
## Tasks
### T01 — Enumerate P1–P12 explicitly
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T01
status: todo
priority: medium
```
`concepts/personhood.md` currently references P1–P12 as a profile without
itemizing each code the way `concepts/being.md` itemizes B1–B8. Write out
the twelve dimensions explicitly, sourced from Phase III personhood
literature (Dennett cluster conditions; trait/social-cognitive personality
psychology).
**Done when:** `concepts/personhood.md` has a P1–P12 table matching B1–B8's
specificity.
---
### T02 — Instrument scoping for constitutive integration and psychological continuity
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T02
status: todo
priority: low
```
Per `research/metrics-scoping-note.md`'s recommendation, scope (not build)
candidate instruments for B3 (constitutive integration) and psychological
continuity specifically — the two dimensions doing the most argumentative
work across the thought-experiment catalog with no existing metric.
**Done when:** a follow-up note names at least one candidate operational
approach per dimension, or explicitly states none is currently viable.
---
### T03 — Legal personhood precedent survey (first slice only)
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T03
status: todo
priority: low
```
Per the moral/legal charter's non-goals, take **only** the first scoped
slice: a survey of legal personhood precedent (corporate personhood, animal
welfare/rights law, AI legal-personality proposals) extending
`research/law-governance/sp-gh-legal-gap-sketch.md`. Do not attempt moral
status or the non-derivation statement (charter items 2–3) in this slice.
**Done when:** a precedent survey note exists, explicitly scoped to legal
personhood only, cross-referenced from the charter.
