tegwick 6b06d3d391 Complete SOUL-WP-0008: Phase VII Soul Frame paper draft and freeze candidate
Draft related-work.md, full paper draft.md (18 sections following the
outline), an internal adversarial review against all nine cataloged thought
experiments (three coverage gaps found and folded into the draft), and a
freeze candidate snapshot under history/. Marks SOUL-WP-0008 finished and
opens SOUL-WP-0009 to carry the paper's own research agenda and the
external-review pathway decision forward as a residual.

# SOUL-WP-0008 — Phase VII Paper
## Goal
Write the first **research-grounded** Soul Frame paper using the outline in
`paper/outline.md` and synthesis from SOUL-WP-0007.
## Depends on
- **SOUL-WP-0007** research synthesis
## Tasks
### T01 — Related work section draft
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0008-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "6b11edf8-3eb7-582f-8eba-d58f870d6329"
```
Expand `paper/related-work.md` from bibliography and crosswalks.
**Done when:** related-work draft covers all major traditions used in synthesis.
---
### T02 — Full paper draft
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0008-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "7b7d4731-3938-599b-899f-db65134be08d"
```
Draft `paper/draft.md` following the research-program outline (Being through
limitations and agenda). Replace provisional intro claims with sourced ones.
**Done when:** complete draft exists with claim→literature traceability.
---
### T03 — Internal adversarial review
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0008-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "f44863b9-6dd5-55b6-aaf2-b08c21072483"
```
Re-run thought experiments against paper definitions; fix circular or collapsing
terms; document limitations honestly.
**Done when:** review notes filed; draft revised or issues logged as open questions.
---
### T04 — Paper freeze candidate
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0008-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "cfc9ef36-4aa9-5bf5-a41a-a8ce5912cac5"
```
Mark a freeze candidate version (date + git tag or history snapshot) suitable for
external review or publication pathway decision.
**Done when:** freeze artifact recorded under `history/` or tagged release notes.
**Completed:** `history/260928-SOUL-WP-0008-paper-freeze-v1.md`.

## Closing note (2026-09-28)
All four tasks complete:
- T01: `paper/related-work.md` — ten traditions, each mapped to Soul Frame
concepts with explicit agreements/tensions.
- T02: `paper/draft.md` — full 18-section draft following `paper/outline.md`,
sourced from `research/research-synthesis.md`, `Terminology.md`, `Claims.md`.
- T03: `paper/adversarial-review-T03.md` — all nine cataloged thought
experiments re-run against the draft; no circular/collapsing terms found;
three coverage gaps (TE-05, TE-08, TE-09 cross-reference) found and folded
directly into the draft rather than parked, since they were additive fixes.
- T04: `history/260928-SOUL-WP-0008-paper-freeze-v1.md` — freeze candidate,
post-fix.
**Residual:** the paper's own §17 research agenda (Soul naming decision,
continuity weighting, recognition/Being boundary, metrics scoping, the
moral/legal personhood companion-line boundary, and the external-review
pathway decision) is multi-step, decision-bearing work — captured as
**SOUL-WP-0009** rather than left in this file's prose.
