- T01 (RQ4): retain "Soul" - resolved with operator; Terminology.md, concepts/soul.md, OpenQuestions.md, Claims.md, paper/draft.md updated. - T02: lexicographic continuity-weighting procedure in concepts/identity.md, validated against TE-02/03/04/08. - T03: testable Being-vs-Social-Being boundary (three-part recognition test) in concepts/recognition.md and concepts/being.md, validated against TE-05/09. - T04: research/metrics-scoping-note.md - per-axis measurability scoping. - T05: research/law-governance/moral-legal-personhood-charter.md - bounded companion-line charter, explicitly not the mapping itself. - T06: publication pathway resolved with operator - internal circulation only, as paper-one for coulomb-research, following the same staged trajectory as coulomb-research's own paper-zero. Marks SOUL-WP-0009 finished. Opens SOUL-WP-0010 (proposed, not started) to carry forward the two multi-step residuals from T04/T05.

# 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. **Left `proposed`** — not
|
||
reviewed against current repo state or started; needs Bernd's go-ahead
|
||
before promotion to `ready`/`active`, same as SOUL-WP-0009 was.
|
||
|
||
## 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: todo
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`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: todo
|
||
priority: low
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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: todo
|
||
priority: low
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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.
