# SOUL-WP-0007 — Phase VI Synthesis

## Goal

Integrate workstream results into:

- concept crosswalk
- evidence register (mature Claims)
- revised ontology / terminology standard
- research synthesis document
- fiction/cultural precedents scan as conceptual laboratory (not evidence)

Also cover remaining WS11 death/legacy and WS13 fiction clusters as needed.

## Depends on

- **SOUL-WP-0006** (and earlier phases' synthesis notes)

## Tasks

### T01 — Full concept crosswalk

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0007-T01
status: todo
priority: high
```

For each matrix concept in `ResearchProgram.md` §5, complete adjacent-term
crosswalks in `concepts/` (or a consolidated `research/concept-crosswalk.md`).

**Done when:** every core concept has filled similarity/difference rows.

---

### T02 — Claims & open questions consolidation

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0007-T02
status: todo
priority: high
```

Advance H1–H10 statuses; retire or revise failed concepts; clean
`OpenQuestions.md`.

**Done when:** no important claim remains without literature notes; revisions logged.

---

### T03 — Fiction & cultural precedents scan

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0007-T03
status: todo
priority: medium
```

Comparative notes (e.g. Culture Minds and peers) under
`research/fiction-cultural-precedents/` for conceptual experiments and failure
modes only.

**Done when:** short comparative note exists; no fiction treated as empirical proof.

---

### T04 — Research synthesis document

```task
id: SOUL-WP-0007-T04
status: todo
priority: high
```

Produce `research/research-synthesis.md` integrating phases I–V and this phase.

**Done when:** synthesis is paper-ready as input to SOUL-WP-0008.
