## H1–H10 summary table

| ID | Claim (short) | Evidence | Status | Phase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H1 | Beinghood multidimensional | moderate | **supported** | I |
| H2 | Personhood ≠ Beinghood | moderate→strong | **supported** | III |
| H3 | Mind model-based | strong (control-theoretic) | **supported** | II |
| H4 | Social cognition co-adaptive | moderate→strong | **supported** | II |
| H5 | Soul operationalizable relationally | moderate; term collision | **revised / supported as direction** | I |
| H6 | Substrate-independent, continuity-dependent identity | moderate→strong conceptual | **supported / refined** | I |
| H7 | Recognition constitutive of *social* Beinghood | moderate | **supported / refined** | II |
| H8 | Persona projection; multi-Persona OK if integrated | moderate | **supported** | III |
| H9 | Agent/Sp./Gh. provenance descriptors | moderate→strong | **supported** | V |
| H10 | Gh. requires authority | moderate→strong | **supported** | V |

**No H-claim remains at evidence strength `none`.**

## Revisions logged (program-level)

| Item | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Soul | boundary + relation + legacy | **relation** (boundary → Being) |
| Being criteria B1–B8 | labeled “Being” | **Autonomous individuality** substrate |
| Beinghood | flat closure+continuity+recognition | **layered** stack v0.2 |
| Identity | loose continuity talk | Identity ≠ Continuity ≠ Lineage |
| Recognition | single notion | epistemic / intentional / social |
| Gh. | fidelity-adjacent folk use | **authority-bound**; ≠ numerical identity |
| Sp. | character sim | **public provenance**; lineage at instantiation |
| Agent | often ontological kind | Functional vs autonomous; construction descriptor |

---

## Concepts retained vs open rename

| Retain | Open / provisional |
|---|---|
| Body, Mind, Being, APE, Persona, Actor, Sp., Gh. | **Soul** (rename candidate RQ4) |
| Proto-Being, candidate Being, Continuity Bridge | Weighting of P1–P12 / B1–B8 |

---

## Failed as *standalone* criteria (not rejected as irrelevant)

| Criterion alone | Why fails |
|---|---|
| Intelligence / fluency | TE-01; APE without Being |
| Autonomy alone | Daemon / control plane false positive |
| Memory dump | RN-004/005; Phase IV memory≠continuity |
| Recognition alone | Intentional stance over-generation |
| Character similarity | RN-004 |
| Address / account | Usurpation |
| Model weights | Actor ≠ Being |

## Indexed SF-C highlights

| ID | Claim | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SF-C001 | Organizational coherence > mere containment | RN-001 |
| SF-C002 | Boundary belongs to Being | RN-001 |
| SF-C003 | Mind ≈ adaptive modeling + regulation | RN-001 |
| SF-C004 | Body/Mind/Soul functional dimensions | RN-001 |
| SF-C055 | Soul continuity across identity discontinuity | RN-005 |

Full inventories remain in research notes.

## Open questions policy after consolidation

- **RQ1–RQ8** remain as program questions; several now have *working answers* (see `OpenQuestions.md`).  
- Active research debt concentrates on: Soul rename (RQ4), continuity weighting, Gh. rare continuation (OQ-040), moral/legal maps, measurement methods.  
- Paper phase should treat working answers as **provisional research conclusions**, not dogma.
