SOUL-WP-0002 — Phase I Foundations
Goal
Stress-test Being, Body, Mind, Soul, closure, and continuity against systems theory, cybernetics, autopoiesis, philosophy of mind, and personal identity.
Research dirs: research/systems-theory/, research/cybernetics/,
research/philosophy-of-mind/, research/personal-identity/.
Depends on
- SOUL-WP-0001 (repository instruments exist)
Follow-on
- SOUL-WP-0003 — Phase II Interaction
Tasks
T01 — Terminology reconnaissance for core triad + Being
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T01
status: todo
priority: high
For Being, Body, Mind, Soul, identity, consciousness: establish meanings,
conflicts, adjacent terms, disciplinary differences; update Terminology.md
and concept notes.
Done when: each term has reconnaissance notes and status in Terminology.
T02 — Systems theory & cybernetics source map
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T02
status: todo
priority: high
Map foundational sources (Bertalanffy, Wiener, Ashby, Beer, von Foerster,
Maturana/Varela, Luhmann, etc.) into sources/bibliography.md and workstream
notes. Focus: closure, boundary, environment, observer-relative identification.
Done when: ≥5 foundational entries annotated against the concept matrix.
T03 — Philosophy of mind & personal identity map
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T03
status: todo
priority: high
Map functionalism, computationalism, embodied mind, psychological/narrative continuity, extended mind. Record agreements/disagreements with Soul Frame's consciousness distinction (first-person vs third-person recognition).
Done when: bibliography + source notes cover both clusters; open questions updated.
T04 — Claim ledger pass for H1, H3, H5, H6
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T04
status: todo
priority: high
Fill supporting/contradicting literature and evidence strength for hypotheses
H1 (multidimensional beinghood), H3 (model-based mind), H5 (relational soul),
H6 (substrate-independent identity) in Claims.md.
Done when: those claims are no longer Evidence strength: none.
T05 — Run foundation thought experiments
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T05
status: todo
priority: medium
Working judgments for TE-01 (Stateless Agent), TE-02 (Sleeping Being),
TE-03 (Fork), TE-04 (Ship of Theseus), TE-05 (Collective) in
ThoughtExperiments.md, refining concept definitions where they break.
Done when: each TE has a working judgment or explicit blocked open issue.
T06 — Phase I synthesis note
id: SOUL-WP-0002-T06
status: todo
priority: medium
Write research/phase-i-foundations-synthesis.md: what holds, what must change,
terminology survivors vs rename candidates (especially Soul).
Done when: synthesis note exists and SOUL-WP-0003 is unblocked on substance.
