+# Terminology Standard
+
+Canonical glossary for Soul Frame. Definitions here are **working** and subject to
+revision after literature mapping and adversarial tests.
+
+See also: `concepts/` for longer concept notes; `Claims.md` for propositions under
+evidence review; `SoulFrameIntroduction.md` for the current narrative exposition.

+## Status legend
+
+| Status | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `provisional` | Working definition in active use |
+| `under review` | Contested or pending literature crosswalk |
+| `retained` | Survived collision analysis for now |
+| `deprecated` | Superseded; keep only for historical reference |

+## Core triad
+
+### Body
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+The operational dimension of a Being: how it perceives, operates, and affects its
+environment. In Soul Frame: **Body = Action**.
+
+### Mind
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+The adaptive control and model-building dimension of a Being. In Soul Frame:
+**Mind = Model** (adaptive control through models).
+
+### Soul
+
+**Status:** provisional / under review
+
+The evolving relational boundary through which a Being develops identity,
+relationships, history, commitments, provenance, reputation, and persistent
+influence. In Soul Frame: **Soul = Relation**.
+
+*Note: high collision risk with religious, metaphysical, and folk usages. Retention
+depends on whether the relational/systems reading adds explanatory power.*
+
+---
+
+## Entity and status terms
+
+### Being
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+A sufficiently coherent and persistent informational system with boundary,
+addressability, continuity, adaptive modeling, and recognition as a counterpart for
+relationships. Beinghood is treated as degree of systemic coherence and recognition
+rather than a simple binary.
+
+### Personhood
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+The extent to which an entity exhibits person-like properties (identity continuity,
+agency, memory, character, social participation, etc.). Multidimensional, not binary.
+Distinct from beinghood. Unless qualified, used **descriptively**, not as moral or
+legal status.
+
+### APE (Artificial Personhood-Exposing Entity)
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+An artificial informational entity intentionally constructed to expose one or more
+dimensions associated with personhood. Does not assert that the entity *is* a person
+morally or legally.
+
+---
+
+## Identity and presentation
+
+### Character
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+A relatively persistent structure of dispositions from which context-dependent
+behavior emerges. Distinct from state, role, persona, and identity.
+
+### Persona
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Situated projection of a Being into a particular context, purpose, role, and
+relationship. Not identical with the Being itself.
+
+### Actor
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Technical machinery through which a Persona is manifested (model, harness, memory,
+tools, runtime, etc.). The Actor is not necessarily the Being.
+
+### Identity
+
+**Status:** under review
+
+What makes temporally separated manifestations instances of the same Being.
+Continuity-dependent; substrate-independent in the working hypotheses.
+
+---
+
+## Construction / provenance descriptors
+
+### Agent
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Artificial entity or component primarily derived from functional purpose
+(*What should it do?*). May be a component of a Being or itself become a Being.
+
+### Spirit (`Sp.`)
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Artificial character derived through reflection on a known historical, contemporary,
+or fictional personality, typically from publicly legitimate sources.
+Example designation: `Albert Einstein Sp.`
+
+### Ghost (`Gh.`)
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Identity-derived representation of an actual person under legitimate authority over
+that person's informational identity. Differs from Spirit principally by **authority**
+and possible use of private/relationship-specific information. Governance is part of
+identity for Ghosts.
+
+---
+
+## Relational and social terms
+
+### Recognition
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Treatment of a system by other beings as a distinguishable, addressable, continuous
+counterpart with which relationships can be formed. Constitutive of *social*
+beinghood in the working hypotheses.
+
+### Addressability
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Whether interaction can target the entity specifically as an individual.
+
+### Co-adaptive model building
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Recursive mutual modeling among interacting beings (A models B, B models A, and
+models of models), producing alignment, divergence, trust, conflict, and related
+social phenomena.
+
+---
+
+## Endings and persistence
+
+### Operational death
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+The Being can no longer instantiate processes necessary for continued action and
+modeling.
+
+### Identity death
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Sufficient continuity can no longer be established between past and future
+manifestations.
+
+### Social death
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+The entity ceases to exist as an active counterpart in the models and relationships
+of others.
+
+### Legacy
+
+**Status:** provisional
+
+Causal and informational traces that continue after operational cessation
+(works, memories, institutional effects, Spirits, Ghosts, etc.).
