Integrate research/foundations notes 001–005 into Terminology, Claims, bibliography, concept notes, thought experiments, and open questions. Write phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md, finish SOUL-WP-0002, and mark SOUL-WP-0003 ready for interaction research.

SOUL-WP-0002 — Phase I Foundations
Goal
Stress-test Being, Body, Mind, Soul, closure, and continuity against systems theory, cybernetics, autopoiesis, philosophy of mind, and personal identity.
Research dirs: research/systems-theory/, research/cybernetics/,
research/philosophy-of-mind/, research/personal-identity/.
Primary research body: research/foundations/ notes 001–005.
Depends on
- SOUL-WP-0001 (repository instruments exist)
Follow-on
- SOUL-WP-0003 — Phase II Interaction (unblocked)
Outcome
Phase I synthesis: research/phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md
Key refinements: Soul ≠ boundary; Beinghood layered stack; Identity ≠ Continuity
≠ Lineage; autonomy ≠ Beinghood; H1/H3/H5/H6 advanced beyond evidence strength
none.
Tasks
T01 — Terminology reconnaissance for core triad + Being
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "a08c8192-8511-4c61-b57d-fbfc49d220f6"
For Being, Body, Mind, Soul, identity, consciousness: establish meanings,
conflicts, adjacent terms, disciplinary differences; update Terminology.md
and concept notes.
Done when: each term has reconnaissance notes and status in Terminology.
T02 — Systems theory & cybernetics source map
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "2e23cfb0-520b-4534-8187-86ac6dcdca04"
Map foundational sources (Bertalanffy, Wiener, Ashby, Beer, von Foerster,
Maturana/Varela, Luhmann, etc.) into sources/bibliography.md and workstream
notes. Focus: closure, boundary, environment, observer-relative identification.
Done when: ≥5 foundational entries annotated against the concept matrix.
T03 — Philosophy of mind & personal identity map
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "bc9b398f-224d-4f12-a050-c8a8bfcf6cdd"
Map functionalism, computationalism, embodied mind, psychological/narrative continuity, extended mind. Record agreements/disagreements with Soul Frame's consciousness distinction (first-person vs third-person recognition).
Done when: bibliography + source notes cover both clusters; open questions updated.
T04 — Claim ledger pass for H1, H3, H5, H6
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T04
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "f287db81-c320-494e-854b-9912558d1ced"
Fill supporting/contradicting literature and evidence strength for hypotheses
H1 (multidimensional beinghood), H3 (model-based mind), H5 (relational soul),
H6 (substrate-independent identity) in Claims.md.
Done when: those claims are no longer Evidence strength: none.
T05 — Run foundation thought experiments
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T05
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "8ae0d7ec-b8c3-43f0-9a72-f2a4700da581"
Working judgments for TE-01 (Stateless Agent), TE-02 (Sleeping Being),
TE-03 (Fork), TE-04 (Ship of Theseus), TE-05 (Collective) in
ThoughtExperiments.md, refining concept definitions where they break.
Done when: each TE has a working judgment or explicit blocked open issue.
T06 — Phase I synthesis note
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T06
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "fb364d28-86f7-444e-a1a8-108dc51943d4"
Write research/phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md: what holds, what must change,
terminology survivors vs rename candidates (especially Soul).
Done when: synthesis note exists and SOUL-WP-0003 is unblocked on substance.
