tegwick b2ca47db97 Implement SOUL-WP-0010: P1-P12 itemization, instrument scoping, legal precedent survey
- T01: itemize P1-P12 in concepts/personhood.md with per-code defining
  questions and anchors (Dennett cluster SF-R093, trait/social-cognitive
  personality psychology SF-R094), matching B1-B8 specificity
- T02: research/instrument-scoping-b3-psychological-continuity.md scopes
  candidate instruments for constitutive integration (B3) and
  psychological continuity
- T03: research/law-governance/legal-personhood-precedent-survey.md,
  charter scope item 1 only, cross-referenced from the charter
- Workplan finished; residual (instrument build gate) recorded as open
  hub decision 0401cf28; stale "left proposed" prose corrected

# SOUL-WP-0010 — Phase IX: Metrics and Personhood Mapping (Slice 1)
## Goal
Residual of SOUL-WP-0009. Two of its completed tasks (T04 metrics scoping,
T05 moral/legal charter) each recommended follow-on work that is multi-step
and should not sit only as prose in their source notes:
- `research/metrics-scoping-note.md` found the B-axis (P1–P12) blocked on
enumeration, and recommended prioritizing instrument development for
constitutive integration (B3) and psychological continuity.
- `research/law-governance/moral-legal-personhood-charter.md` recommended a
first narrow slice ("legal personhood precedent survey only") rather than
opening the whole moral/legal question at once.
This workplan bundles both as a first slice. Activated 2026-09-28 with
Bernd's go-ahead; all three tasks resolved the same day.
## Depends on
- **SOUL-WP-0009** Phase VIII research agenda (finished 2026-09-28)
## Tasks
### T01 — Enumerate P1–P12 explicitly
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T01
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "598c52c1-5902-541f-bff0-78a8700ce4ed"
```
`concepts/personhood.md` currently references P1–P12 as a profile without
itemizing each code the way `concepts/being.md` itemizes B1–B8. Write out
the twelve dimensions explicitly, sourced from Phase III personhood
literature (Dennett cluster conditions; trait/social-cognitive personality
psychology).
**Done when:** `concepts/personhood.md` has a P1–P12 table matching B1–B8's
specificity.
---
### T02 — Instrument scoping for constitutive integration and psychological continuity
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T02
status: done
priority: low
state_hub_task_id: "1ae4434f-8603-5c71-aa59-add71bff24aa"
```
Per `research/metrics-scoping-note.md`'s recommendation, scope (not build)
candidate instruments for B3 (constitutive integration) and psychological
continuity specifically — the two dimensions doing the most argumentative
work across the thought-experiment catalog with no existing metric.
**Done when:** a follow-up note names at least one candidate operational
approach per dimension, or explicitly states none is currently viable.
---
### T03 — Legal personhood precedent survey (first slice only)
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0010-T03
status: done
priority: low
state_hub_task_id: "f29ae5a5-0ede-57c2-9963-50580f5cf6db"
```
Per the moral/legal charter's non-goals, take **only** the first scoped
slice: a survey of legal personhood precedent (corporate personhood, animal
welfare/rights law, AI legal-personality proposals) extending
`research/law-governance/sp-gh-legal-gap-sketch.md`. Do not attempt moral
status or the non-derivation statement (charter items 2–3) in this slice.
**Done when:** a precedent survey note exists, explicitly scoped to legal
personhood only, cross-referenced from the charter.
---
## Outcome (2026-09-28)
- **T01** — `concepts/personhood.md` now carries an itemized P1–P12 table
(defining question + anchors per code), sourced from the Phase III
dimensions map, SF-R093 (Dennett cluster) and SF-R094 (trait /
social-cognitive personality psychology). Unblocks per-code metric
scoping.
- **T02** — `research/instrument-scoping-b3-psychological-continuity.md`:
viable build targets named for both dimensions (B3: constraint-closure
ratio + perturbation profiling; psychological continuity:
representational continuity, white-box systems only). Neither viable as
a validated metric today.
- **T03** — `research/law-governance/legal-personhood-precedent-survey.md`:
four precedent clusters (corporate, animal, environmental, AI
proposals), legal-personhood-only per charter item 1; cross-referenced
from the charter. Key finding: double decoupling of legal personality
from descriptive profile; guardianship grants (§3) are the template
relevant to Gh. custodianship.
**Residual:** whether to build/pilot the two scoped instruments is
founder-gated — recorded as open hub decision
`0401cf28-48bb-4486-87cc-b1dfd6903d0d` (origin: residual, origin_ref:
SOUL-WP-0010-T02). Charter items 2–4 stay future companion-line slices
gated by the charter itself, not residuals of this workplan.
