Soul
Status: provisional / under review
Working gloss: Soul = Relation
Working definition
The Soul is the evolving relational boundary through which a Being develops identity, relationships, history, commitments, provenance, reputation, and persistent influence in its environment.
It is not identical with the environment; it is the coupling boundary and the persistent consequences of interactions across that boundary.
Notes for research
- Informational, not metaphysical, reading of persistence/"eternity".
- A Being may cease operating while influence continues (legacy).
- High terminology collision risk; retention requires explanatory payoff.
Structural ambiguity to resolve
Does Soul name:
- the boundary itself,
- the relational structures crossing the boundary,
- the accumulated consequences of those interactions,
- or a carefully defined combination?
