Role in Beinghood

Recognition is constitutive of social Beinghood, not of bare autonomous individuality. Beinghood v0.2 includes recognition among requirement families for the intended “someone” category — TE-09 still pressures that packaging.

Working social principle

A system becomes socially relevant as a Being when other beings can distinguish it, address it, expect continuity from it, maintain models of it, and enter persistent relationships with it.

  • Addressability — ability to target the entity specifically
  • Social Being — embedded in reciprocal models and relations
