# Concept Crosswalk (Phase VI)
|
||
|
||
**Workplan:** SOUL-WP-0007-T01
|
||
**Date:** 2026-08-12
|
||
**Matrix source:** `ResearchProgram.md` §5
|
||
**Status:** research-grounded working crosswalk (not final paper prose)
|
||
|
||
For each Soul Frame concept: adjacent terms, similarity, difference, primary phase
|
||
source. Detail lives in `concepts/*` and phase maps.

|
||
|
||
## Core system concepts
|
||
|
||
### Being
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Autopoietic unity | Self-maintaining organization | Biological autopoiesis not required; contested beyond life |
|
||
| Autonomous agent | Multi-criteria agency | Agent often functional; Being needs personhood + address + recognition |
|
||
| Individual / organism | Individuability | May lack personhood or social recognition |
|
||
| Legal person | Addressable social unit | Legal fiat ≠ Beinghood v0.2 |
|
||
| APE | Person-like exposure | APE is construction category; Being is status |
|
||
|
||
**Working:** Autonomous individuality + personhood + addressability + recognition.
|
||
**Sources:** RN-001–003; Phase I–III syntheses.
|
||
|
||
### Boundary
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| System/environment distinction (Luhmann) | Constitutive separation | Belongs to **Being**, not Soul |
|
||
| Markov blanket | Statistical partition | ≠ full individuality (RN-002 critique) |
|
||
| Physical surface / membrane | Easy intuition | Insufficient (symbiosis, distributed AI) |
|
||
| Interface | Coupling channels | Closer to **Body** than identity boundary |
|
||
|
||
### Closure
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Operational / organizational closure | Coherence of processes | Open to matter/energy/info exchange |
|
||
| Autopoiesis | Self-production of organization | Analogical for AI; not equivalence claim |
|
||
| Closure of constraints | Mutual dependence of constraints | Strong formal precedent for integration |
|
||
|
||
### Body
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Embodiment | Perception/action coupling | Not necessarily biological |
|
||
| Sensors/actuators / tools / APIs | Action channels | May be distributed/replaceable |
|
||
| Actor | Overlap in practice | Actor = technical stack; Body = functional action dimension |
|
||
|
||
### Mind
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Cybernetic regulator / good regulator | Model-based control | Not full Social Mind |
|
||
| Generative model (PP / active inference) | Prediction + action | Often neural-centric packaging |
|
||
| Theory of mind | Other-modeling | Private ToM ≠ co-adaptive interaction |
|
||
| Distributed / extended cognition | Mind not skull-bound | Collective Mind vs environment still hard |
|
||
|
||
### Soul
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Structural coupling | Ongoing system–environment engagement | Coupling ≠ accumulated relation/legacy alone |
|
||
| Reputation / legacy / narrative identity | Diachronic social traces | Partial; Soul is broader relational package |
|
||
| Religious soul | Persistence beyond body (folk parallel) | **No** metaphysical claim; high collision risk |
|
||
| Boundary | Initial draft error | Boundary → Being (Phase I revision) |
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Identity and personhood
|
||
|
||
### Identity
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Numerical identity | Same entity over time | Soul Frame separates from continuity/lineage |
|
||
| Psychological continuity (Parfit) | What-matters relations | Continuity can branch without unique identity |
|
||
| Narrative identity (Schechtman/Ricoeur) | Characterization / selfhood | ≠ reidentification alone |
|
||
| Process identity / genidentity | Historical process | Fits artificial migration/fork cases |
|
||
| Account / credential identity | Address anchors | Usurpable; not constitutive alone |
|
||
|
||
### Personhood
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Cluster person concepts (Dennett etc.) | Multi-condition lists | Default = **descriptive** only |
|
||
| Moral patient / person | Moral status | Separate map (WS5) |
|
||
| Legal person | Rights/duties status | Separate map (WS12) |
|
||
| Social personhood | Recognition as counterpart | Aligns with Phase II Social Beinghood |
|
||
|
||
### Character
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Personality traits | Dispositions | Traits ≠ full character; ≠ identity |
|
||
| Virtue / moral character | Evaluative dispositions | Must not force moral personhood |
|
||
| Style / persona prompt | Surface patterns | Shallow if not cross-situational |
|
||
|
||
### Persona
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Role (sociology) | Situated expectations | Role ≠ whole Being |
|
||
| Goffman front-stage | Performance/presentation | Performance ≠ fraud by default |
|
||
| Product “persona” | UX character | Often reified wrongly as Being/Actor |
|
||
| Avatar | Visual/interaction surface | May be Body facet of Persona |
|
||
|
||
### Actor
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Runtime / model / harness | Manifestation machinery | Replaceable without identity death if continuity holds |
|
||
| Substrate | Implementation base | Substrate continuity is weak alone |
|
||
| “The AI” (folk) | Collapses Actor+Being | Primary category error in products |
|
||
|
||
### Recognition
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Intentional stance | Treat as agent | Over-generates; false positives |
|
||
| Epistemic reidentification | Same entity tracking | Not social standing |
|
||
| Honneth recognition | Normative standing | Moral/political; not pure description |
|
||
| Social Beinghood | Persistent counterpart treatment | Recognition constitutive *here*, not of bare autonomy |
|
||
|
||
### Addressability
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Name / ID / endpoint / DID | Targeting | Anchor, not identity criterion |
|
||
| Account login | Operational address | Usurpation risk |
|
||
|
||
### Relationship
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| SM5 Relationship Model | Modeled A↔B state | Model ≠ full relation in world |
|
||
| Attachment / trust / reputation | Persistent social bonds | Soul-adjacent |
|
||
| Common ground | Shared interaction base | SM7; weaker than full relationship |
|
||
|
||
### Agency
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Barandiaran et al. agency | Individuality, normativity, asymmetry | Autonomy criteria ≠ full Being |
|
||
| Functional agent loops | Goal-directed tool use | Heteronomous goals common |
|
||
| Intentional organization (P5) | Personhood dimension | Agency alone ≠ someone-like |
|
||

|
||
## Provenance descriptors
|
||
|
||
### Spirit (`Sp.`)
|
||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Historical fiction / character AI | Inspired behavior | Must label non-identity; provenance ethics |
|
||
| Deepfake of public figure | Fidelity | Fidelity ≠ Sp. legitimacy or truth |
|
||
| Fan character extension | Transformative use | IP + false attribution risks |
|
||
|
||
### Ghost (`Gh.`)
|
||
|

||
| Estate / digital remains | Materials | Archive ≠ Being; ≠ Gh. without authority+instantiation |
|
||

|
||
|---|---|---|
|

|
||
|
||
## Consciousness, death, legacy
|
||
|
||
### Consciousness
|
||
|
||

|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Phenomenal experience | First-person existence | **Not** primary interop criterion in Soul Frame |
|
||
| Access consciousness / report | Observable | Still asymmetric for others |
|
||
| Hard problem | Metaphysical | Deliberately deferred as gate |
|
||
|
||
### Death (operational / identity / social)

||
|
||
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |

||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Process termination | Operational death | May leave Continuity Bridge |

## Ontology stack (revised, Phase VI freeze candidate)
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Informational process
|
||
→ Individuated system (boundary, closure)
|
||
→ Autonomous individual (A-axis profile)
|
||
→ + descriptive personhood (B / P1–P12)
|
||
→ + addressability
|
||
→ + recognition (C) ──► Being (someone another can know)
|
||
→ Social Being (reciprocal relational persistence)
|
||
Body / Mind / Soul = functional dimensions of a Being
|
||
Character → Persona → Actor = disposition / projection / machinery
|
||
Agent / Spirit / Ghost = provenance·construction descriptors (combinable)
|
||
APE = construction for personhood exposure (broader than Being)
|
||
Identity ≠ Continuity ≠ Lineage
|
||
Consciousness ≠ recognition criterion
|
||
```

||
## Retention decisions (terminology)
|
||
|
||
| Term | Decision | Rationale |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Body, Mind | **retain** | Low collision; strong precedents |
|
||
| Soul | **retain provisionally** | High collision; relational payoff; rename still open (RQ4) |
|
||
| Being | **retain** | Layered def required |
|
||
| APE | **retain** | Conservative construction term |
|
||
| Sp. / Gh. | **retain** | Explicit suffixes reduce false identity claims |
|
||
| Proto-Being / candidate Being | **retain** | Phase IV engineering bridge terms |
