# Personhood
|
|
|
|
**Status:** provisional
|
|
**See also:** H2, RQ2, APE in `Terminology.md`
|
|
|
|
## Working definition
|
|
|
|
**Personhood** describes the extent to which an entity exhibits properties commonly
|
|
associated with persons. Multidimensional, not binary.
|
|
|
|
Unless explicitly qualified, Soul Frame uses personhood **descriptively**, not as
|
|
moral or legal status.
|
|
|
|
## Distinctions to maintain

|
| Kind | Focus |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Descriptive personhood | Person-like capabilities and characteristics |
|
|
| Social personhood | Recognition and treatment as a social counterpart |
|
|
| Moral personhood | Status giving rise to moral consideration |
|
|
| Legal personhood | Status created or recognized by legal systems |
|
|
|
|
## Relation to Being
|
|
|
|
Personhood concerns qualities exhibited.
|
|
Beinghood concerns whether qualities cohere into an identifiable, persistent system
|
|
recognized as an individual counterpart.
