Body

Status: retained (Phase I, 2026-08-12)
Working gloss: Body = Action

Working definition

The operational dimension of a Being: channels of perception and action.

For artificial beings: language interfaces, APIs, tools, sensors, databases, actuators, avatars, compute, permissions — possibly distributed and replaceable.

Phase I notes

Body ≠ identity; RN-005 Body replacement can preserve Being with continuity.
Multi-Body manifestation need not be a fork if constitutive integration holds.
Body is present-tense coupling; Soul carries diachronic relation.

Open issues

Minimal body for a Being?
Relation between Body and Actor (Actor is technical manifestation stack; Body is the functional action dimension — often overlapping in practice).
