SOUL-WP-0011 — Phase X: Sufficiency, Coverage, and Soul Packaging

Goal

Close the three gaps the 2026-09-28 scope-vs-intent assessment (history/260928-scope-intent-gap-assessment.md) ranked as most relevant and addressable now:

• G1 — the framework has no stated position on weighting/sufficiency for its B-, P-, and continuity profiles, though thresholds are load-bearing in Beinghood v0.2 and across the TE catalog.
• G2 — INTENT's success criterion (one vocabulary across nine reference entity types, with meaningful distinctions) has never been exercised as an explicit test.
• G3 — Soul packaging (relations vs consequences vs both) is the last remaining paper-critical open item (RQ4).

Tasks

T01 — Sufficiency and weighting position paper

id: SOUL-WP-0011-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "f4e4b427-4abb-52ce-ba29-a7360d6bf7c7"

Write research/sufficiency-and-weighting-position.md: a principled position on how (or whether) B1–B8, P1–P12, and the six continuity channels aggregate into sufficiency judgments ("enough personhood for Beinghood v0.2", "CONTINUOUS vs DEGRADED"). A principled refusal of universal weights (context-of-claim relativity) is an acceptable outcome if argued; silence is not. Must state consequences for Beinghood v0.2 phrasing and the TE working judgments that lean on thresholds.

Done when: the note exists, takes one defended position, and OpenQuestions.md RQ1/RQ2/RQ5 weighting bullets reference it.

T02 — Success-criterion coverage matrix

id: SOUL-WP-0011-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3277e2fa-2e5b-51ff-b332-937d920add1d"

Write research/coverage-matrix.md: apply the full vocabulary (B-profile, P-profile, continuity channels, addressability/recognition, Agent/Sp./Gh. descriptors) to all nine INTENT reference entity types in one matrix, with per-entity notes on where the vocabulary strains. Distinctions must be meaningful: every pair of entity types must differ on at least one dimension, stated explicitly or derivable from the matrix.

Done when: the matrix covers all nine types, strain points are named, and the note gives an explicit pass/partial verdict on the success criterion, cross-referenced from INTENT.md's success-criterion section readers via SCOPE.md.

---

T03 — Soul packaging resolution

id: SOUL-WP-0011-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "44e94404-219d-58cf-85e7-7d9dcd95190c"

Resolve RQ4's remainder: does "Soul" package relations, consequences (persistent influence), or both — and how does Cluster D inheritance (Gh. inheriting Soul-relational structure without identity) survive the chosen packaging? Update concepts/soul.md with the outcome and mark the RQ4 remainder resolved or narrowed in OpenQuestions.md.

Done when: concepts/soul.md states the packaging position with rationale, and RQ4's "still open (paper-critical)" block reflects it.

---

Outcome (2026-09-28)

• T01 — research/sufficiency-and-weighting-position.md: universal cardinal weights rejected with argument; structured-qualitative scheme adopted (B necessity core B1·B3, claim-relative P minimal profiles, continuity configuration classes with causal privilege). RQ1/RQ2/RQ5 weighting bullets now reference it. Composite-index building declared out of scope by position (constrains decision 0401cf28).
• T02 — research/coverage-matrix.md: all nine INTENT reference entity types profiled under the full vocabulary; pairwise distinctness verified. Success-criterion verdict: pass, with two strain points (distributed AI level-addressing; radically non-human individuation/P10) already tracked as RQ1/RQ8 residuals.
• T03 — Soul packaging resolved in concepts/soul.md: both relations and consequences, as enacted vs residual modes of one dimension; Cluster D inheritance named as residual Soul re-enacted under authority. RQ4 block updated; no paper-critical open item remains on RQ4.

Residuals: none opened — the coverage-matrix strain points and the EPHEMERAL null-class observation stay tracked in existing registers (RQ1/RQ8, matrix §3) as agenda, not actionable leftovers; the Cluster D depth and fork questions remain pre-existing RQ4 residuals.
