# Terminology Standard
|
|
|
|
Canonical glossary for Soul Frame. Definitions here are **working** and subject to
|
|
revision after literature mapping and adversarial tests.
|
|
|
|
See also: `concepts/` for longer concept notes; `Claims.md` for propositions under
|
|
evidence review; `SoulFrameIntroduction.md` for the current narrative exposition.
|
|

|
## Status legend
|
|
|
|
| Status | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `provisional` | Working definition in active use |
|
|
| `under review` | Contested or pending literature crosswalk |
|
|
| `retained` | Survived collision analysis for now |
|
|
| `deprecated` | Superseded; keep only for historical reference |

## Core triad
|
|
|
|
### Body
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
The operational dimension of a Being: how it perceives, operates, and affects its
|
|
environment. In Soul Frame: **Body = Action**.
|
|
|
|
### Mind
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
The adaptive control and model-building dimension of a Being. In Soul Frame:
|
|
**Mind = Model** (adaptive control through models).
|
|
|
|
### Soul
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional / under review
|
|
|
|
The evolving relational boundary through which a Being develops identity,
|
|
relationships, history, commitments, provenance, reputation, and persistent
|
|
influence. In Soul Frame: **Soul = Relation**.
|
|
|
|
*Note: high collision risk with religious, metaphysical, and folk usages. Retention
|
|
depends on whether the relational/systems reading adds explanatory power.*

## Entity and status terms
|
|
|
|
### Being
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
A sufficiently coherent and persistent informational system with boundary,
|
|
addressability, continuity, adaptive modeling, and recognition as a counterpart for
|
|
relationships. Beinghood is treated as degree of systemic coherence and recognition
|
|
rather than a simple binary.
|
|
|
|
### Personhood
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
The extent to which an entity exhibits person-like properties (identity continuity,
|
|
agency, memory, character, social participation, etc.). Multidimensional, not binary.
|
|
Distinct from beinghood. Unless qualified, used **descriptively**, not as moral or
|
|
legal status.
|
|
|
|
### APE (Artificial Personhood-Exposing Entity)
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
An artificial informational entity intentionally constructed to expose one or more
|
|
dimensions associated with personhood. Does not assert that the entity *is* a person
|
|
morally or legally.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Identity and presentation
|
|
|
|
### Character
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
A relatively persistent structure of dispositions from which context-dependent
|
|
behavior emerges. Distinct from state, role, persona, and identity.
|
|
|
|
### Persona
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Situated projection of a Being into a particular context, purpose, role, and
|
|
relationship. Not identical with the Being itself.
|
|
|
|
### Actor
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Technical machinery through which a Persona is manifested (model, harness, memory,
|
|
tools, runtime, etc.). The Actor is not necessarily the Being.
|
|
|
|
### Identity
|
|
|
|
**Status:** under review
|
|
|
|
What makes temporally separated manifestations instances of the same Being.
|
|
Continuity-dependent; substrate-independent in the working hypotheses.
|
|
|

|
## Construction / provenance descriptors
|
|
|
|
### Agent
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Artificial entity or component primarily derived from functional purpose
|
|
(*What should it do?*). May be a component of a Being or itself become a Being.
|
|
|
|
### Spirit (`Sp.`)
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Artificial character derived through reflection on a known historical, contemporary,
|
|
or fictional personality, typically from publicly legitimate sources.
|
|
Example designation: `Albert Einstein Sp.`
|
|
|
|
### Ghost (`Gh.`)
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Identity-derived representation of an actual person under legitimate authority over
|
|
that person's informational identity. Differs from Spirit principally by **authority**
|
|
and possible use of private/relationship-specific information. Governance is part of
|
|
identity for Ghosts.
|
|

|

|
## Relational and social terms
|
|
|
|
### Recognition
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Treatment of a system by other beings as a distinguishable, addressable, continuous
|
|
counterpart with which relationships can be formed. Constitutive of *social*
|
|
beinghood in the working hypotheses.
|
|
|
|
### Addressability
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Whether interaction can target the entity specifically as an individual.
|
|
|
|
### Co-adaptive model building
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Recursive mutual modeling among interacting beings (A models B, B models A, and
|
|
models of models), producing alignment, divergence, trust, conflict, and related
|
|
social phenomena.
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Endings and persistence
|
|
|
|
### Operational death
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
The Being can no longer instantiate processes necessary for continued action and
|
|
modeling.
|
|
|
|
### Identity death
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Sufficient continuity can no longer be established between past and future
|
|
manifestations.
|
|
|
|
### Social death
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
The entity ceases to exist as an active counterpart in the models and relationships
|
|
of others.
|
|
|
|
### Legacy
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
|
|
Causal and informational traces that continue after operational cessation
|
|
(works, memories, institutional effects, Spirits, Ghosts, etc.).
|
