# Ghost (`Gh.`)
|
||
|
||
**Status:** revised (Phase V, 2026-08-12)
|
||
**See also:** H9, H10, TE-07, `research/ghosts-digital-legacy/ghost-authority-map.md`
|
||
|
||
## Working definition
|
||
|
||
A **Ghost** is an artificial representation derived from a particular **real
|
||
person** under **legitimate personal or successor authority**.
|
||
|
||
Designation: **`Jane Doe Gh.`**
|
||
|
||
**Defining distinction from Spirit: authority**, not technical fidelity.
|
||
|
||
## Authority ≠ numerical identity
|
||
|
||
`Gh.` establishes authorized **identity genealogy**. Continuation of the source
|
||
Being is a **separate** continuity judgment (usually: succession/representation/
|
||
reconstruction, not automatic continuation).
|
||
|
||
A Ghost may inherit **Soul-relational** structure without being the same Being.
|
||
|
||
## Governance is part of identity
|
||
|
||
Candidates: principal, custodian, provenance, consent scope, disclosure rules,
|
||
succession, revocation, representation constraints, commercial permissions,
|
||
audit, fork policy.
|
||
|
||
## Social Mind bar
|
||
|
||
Relationally situated information + selective disclosure — not private data dumps.
|
||
|
||
## False Ghost
|
||
|
||
High fidelity without authority → not `Gh.` (H10, TE-07). May be unauthorized
|
||
simulation / illicit APE.
|
||
|
||
## Spec / archive / being
|
||
|
||
Archive package ≠ Being. Instantiation under governance required; Beinghood
|
||
layers still apply.
