tegwick 6b06d3d391 Complete SOUL-WP-0008: Phase VII Soul Frame paper draft and freeze candidate

Draft related-work.md, full paper draft.md (18 sections following the
outline), an internal adversarial review against all nine cataloged thought
experiments (three coverage gaps found and folded into the draft), and a
freeze candidate snapshot under history/. Marks SOUL-WP-0008 finished and
opens SOUL-WP-0009 to carry the paper's own research agenda and the
external-review pathway decision forward as a residual.

SOUL-WP-0008 — Phase VII Paper

Goal

Write the first research-grounded Soul Frame paper using the outline in paper/outline.md and synthesis from SOUL-WP-0007.

Depends on

SOUL-WP-0007 research synthesis

Tasks

id: SOUL-WP-0008-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "6b11edf8-3eb7-582f-8eba-d58f870d6329"

Expand paper/related-work.md from bibliography and crosswalks.

Done when: related-work draft covers all major traditions used in synthesis.

T02 — Full paper draft

id: SOUL-WP-0008-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "7b7d4731-3938-599b-899f-db65134be08d"

Draft paper/draft.md following the research-program outline (Being through limitations and agenda). Replace provisional intro claims with sourced ones.

Done when: complete draft exists with claim→literature traceability.

T03 — Internal adversarial review

id: SOUL-WP-0008-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "f44863b9-6dd5-55b6-aaf2-b08c21072483"

Re-run thought experiments against paper definitions; fix circular or collapsing terms; document limitations honestly.

Done when: review notes filed; draft revised or issues logged as open questions.

T04 — Paper freeze candidate

id: SOUL-WP-0008-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "cfc9ef36-4aa9-5bf5-a41a-a8ce5912cac5"

Mark a freeze candidate version (date + git tag or history snapshot) suitable for external review or publication pathway decision.

Done when: freeze artifact recorded under history/ or tagged release notes.

Completed: history/260928-SOUL-WP-0008-paper-freeze-v1.md.

Closing note (2026-09-28)

All four tasks complete:

T01: paper/related-work.md — ten traditions, each mapped to Soul Frame concepts with explicit agreements/tensions.
T02: paper/draft.md — full 18-section draft following paper/outline.md, sourced from research/research-synthesis.md, Terminology.md, Claims.md.
T03: paper/adversarial-review-T03.md — all nine cataloged thought experiments re-run against the draft; no circular/collapsing terms found; three coverage gaps (TE-05, TE-08, TE-09 cross-reference) found and folded directly into the draft rather than parked, since they were additive fixes.
T04: history/260928-SOUL-WP-0008-paper-freeze-v1.md — freeze candidate, post-fix.

Residual: the paper's own §17 research agenda (Soul naming decision, continuity weighting, recognition/Being boundary, metrics scoping, the moral/legal personhood companion-line boundary, and the external-review pathway decision) is multi-step, decision-bearing work — captured as SOUL-WP-0009 rather than left in this file's prose.
