# SOUL-WP-0002 — Phase I Foundations
|
||
|
||
## Goal
|
||
|
||
Stress-test **Being, Body, Mind, Soul, closure, and continuity** against systems
|
||
theory, cybernetics, autopoiesis, philosophy of mind, and personal identity.
|
||
|
||
Research dirs: `research/systems-theory/`, `research/cybernetics/`,
|
||
`research/philosophy-of-mind/`, `research/personal-identity/`.
|
||
|
||
Primary research body: `research/foundations/` notes 001–005.
|
||
|
||
## Depends on
|
||
|
||
- **SOUL-WP-0001** (repository instruments exist)
|
||
|
||
## Follow-on
|
||
|
||
- **SOUL-WP-0003** — Phase II Interaction (unblocked)
|
||
|
||
## Outcome
|
||
|
||
Phase I synthesis: `research/phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md`
|
||
|
||
Key refinements: Soul ≠ boundary; Beinghood layered stack; Identity ≠ Continuity
|
||
≠ Lineage; autonomy ≠ Beinghood; H1/H3/H5/H6 advanced beyond evidence strength
|
||
`none`.
|
||
|
||
## Tasks
|
||
|
||
### T01 — Terminology reconnaissance for core triad + Being
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T01
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "a08c8192-8511-4c61-b57d-fbfc49d220f6"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For Being, Body, Mind, Soul, identity, consciousness: establish meanings,
|
||
conflicts, adjacent terms, disciplinary differences; update `Terminology.md`
|
||
and concept notes.
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** each term has reconnaissance notes and status in Terminology.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### T02 — Systems theory & cybernetics source map
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T02
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "2e23cfb0-520b-4534-8187-86ac6dcdca04"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Map foundational sources (Bertalanffy, Wiener, Ashby, Beer, von Foerster,
|
||
Maturana/Varela, Luhmann, etc.) into `sources/bibliography.md` and workstream
|
||
notes. Focus: closure, boundary, environment, observer-relative identification.
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** ≥5 foundational entries annotated against the concept matrix.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### T03 — Philosophy of mind & personal identity map
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T03
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "bc9b398f-224d-4f12-a050-c8a8bfcf6cdd"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Map functionalism, computationalism, embodied mind, psychological/narrative
|
||
continuity, extended mind. Record agreements/disagreements with Soul Frame's
|
||
consciousness distinction (first-person vs third-person recognition).
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** bibliography + source notes cover both clusters; open questions updated.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### T04 — Claim ledger pass for H1, H3, H5, H6
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T04
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "f287db81-c320-494e-854b-9912558d1ced"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Fill supporting/contradicting literature and evidence strength for hypotheses
|
||
H1 (multidimensional beinghood), H3 (model-based mind), H5 (relational soul),
|
||
H6 (substrate-independent identity) in `Claims.md`.
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** those claims are no longer `Evidence strength: none`.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### T05 — Run foundation thought experiments
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T05
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "8ae0d7ec-b8c3-43f0-9a72-f2a4700da581"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Working judgments for TE-01 (Stateless Agent), TE-02 (Sleeping Being),
|
||
TE-03 (Fork), TE-04 (Ship of Theseus), TE-05 (Collective) in
|
||
`ThoughtExperiments.md`, refining concept definitions where they break.
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** each TE has a working judgment or explicit blocked open issue.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### T06 — Phase I synthesis note
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T06
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "fb364d28-86f7-444e-a1a8-108dc51943d4"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Write `research/phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md`: what holds, what must change,
|
||
terminology survivors vs rename candidates (especially Soul).
|
||
|
||
**Done when:** synthesis note exists and SOUL-WP-0003 is unblocked on substance.
