Three senses
| Sense | Meaning | Adjacent work |
|---|---|---|
| Epistemic | Identify/track as the same entity | reidentification, addressability |
| Intentional | Treat as agent with goals/beliefs | Dennett intentional stance; Theory of Mind |
| Social / normative | Standing, perspective, claims matter among us | Honneth recognition theory; Mead; trust/reputation |
Do not collapse these senses.
Layer model
Autonomous individuality → may exist unrecognized
Intentional recognition → treated as agent-like
Addressability → can be specifically targeted
Social Beinghood → persistent reciprocal models, relations,
expectations, commitments, reputation
Role in Beinghood
| Level | Role of recognition |
|---|---|
| Autonomous individuality | not required |
| Social Beinghood | constitutive (H7) |
| Soul Frame “Being” as someone another can know | recognition + personhood + addressability on autonomous base (Beinghood v0.2), with TE-09 pressure |
Caution: intentional recognition over-generates (APE false positives). Recognition alone does not create systemic individuality (RN-001 Finding 10).
Working social principle
A system becomes socially relevant as a Being when other beings can distinguish it, address it, expect continuity from it, maintain models of it, and enter persistent relationships with it.
TE-09 (summary)
Unrecognized coherent intelligence can be an autonomous individual without Social Beinghood. See sociology map for full judgment.
