## Working hypotheses (from Research Program)
|
|
|
|
### H1 — Beinghood is multidimensional
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Beinghood cannot be reduced to a single property such as intelligence,
|
|
consciousness, or autonomy.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Being
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: autopoiesis, agency, personhood, autonomy
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: binary vs threshold vs multidimensional degree
|
|
Required refinement: operational criteria / dimensions
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H2 — Personhood and Beinghood are distinct
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: An entity can expose substantial personhood without constituting a
|
|
persistent Being.

|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: person, agent, moral patient
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: boundary cases (companions, chatbots, animals)
|
|
Required refinement: dimension lists and thresholds
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H3 — Mind is fundamentally model-based
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Adaptive modeling provides a more useful foundation for Mind in Soul Frame
|
|
than intelligence or consciousness alone.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Mind
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: predictive processing, active inference, control theory
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: relation to embodiment; non-model-based accounts of mind
|
|
Required refinement: definition of "model" in this framework
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H4 — Social cognition is co-adaptive
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Persistent interaction between beings produces recursively adapting models
|
|
of self, other, and relationship.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Co-adaptive model building, Mind
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: theory of mind, interactive alignment, common ground
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: minimum requirements for "co-adaptation"
|
|
Required refinement: relation to existing multi-agent and ToM literature
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H5 — Soul can be operationalized relationally
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Soul can be given a meaningful systems interpretation through identity,
|
|
boundary, relationship, provenance, history, and persistent influence.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Soul
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: structural coupling, extended mind, reputation, legacy
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: boundary vs relations vs accumulated consequences
|
|
Required refinement: terminology collision analysis for "Soul"
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H6 — Identity is substrate-independent but continuity-dependent
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Replacing the technical Actor need not replace the Being, provided
|
|
sufficient continuity is preserved.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Identity, Actor, Being
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: psychological continuity, Ship of Theseus, functionalism
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: what continuity is sufficient; forking/merging
|
|
Required refinement: persistence conditions
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H7 — Recognition is constitutive of social Beinghood
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Being recognized as a persistent counterpart changes the systemic role
|
|
of an entity; social Beinghood depends on recognition.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Recognition, Being
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: recognition theory, intersubjectivity, social construction
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: systemic existence vs social recognition of existence
|
|
Required refinement: whether Beinghood without recognition is coherent
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H8 — Persona is a projection rather than an identity
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: A Being can support multiple context-dependent Personae without necessarily
|
|
fragmenting identity.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Persona, Identity
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: role theory, avatar, dramatis personae
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: when persona fragmentation threatens identity
|
|
Required refinement: Being ≠ Persona ≠ Character ≠ Actor
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H9 — Agent, Spirit, and Ghost describe provenance and construction
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Agent, Spirit, and Ghost should not automatically be treated as mutually
|
|
exclusive kinds of Being; they are genealogical or architectural descriptors.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Agent, Spirit, Ghost
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: agent, digital human, posthumous avatar
|
|
Evidence strength: none
|
|
Open questions: overlaps and hybrid constructions
|
|
Required refinement: typology vs dimensions
|
|
Status: draft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### H10 — Ghosthood requires authority
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Claim: Technical fidelity alone is insufficient for legitimate Gh. status;
|

legitimate authority over the represented identity is required.
|
|
Soul Frame concept: Ghost
|
|
Supporting literature: (pending)
|
|
Contradicting literature: (pending)
|
|
Adjacent terminology: personality rights, consent, digital legacy, fiduciary duty
