# SOUL-WP-0006 — Phase V Spirits and Ghosts
## Goal
Establish rigorous definitions for **Spirit (`Sp.`)** and **Ghost (`Gh.`)**:
public personality simulation vs identity-authorized continuation, digital
legacy, consent, personality rights, governance.
Research dirs: `research/spirits/`, `research/ghosts-digital-legacy/`,
`research/law-governance/` (as needed for Gh.).
## Depends on
- **SOUL-WP-0005**
## Tasks
### T01 — Spirit criteria and cultural representation map
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0006-T01
status: todo
priority: high
```
Sources on historical simulation, fictional character agents, synthetic media,
provenance, fidelity. Formalize evaluation dimensions for `Sp.`.
**Done when:** `concepts/spirit.md` evaluation dimensions are sourced.
---
### T02 — Ghost, digital legacy, and authority map
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0006-T02
status: todo
priority: high
```
Map digital remains, posthumous privacy, grief tech, consent, succession,
fiduciary stewardship. Test H10 and TE-07 (False Ghost).
**Done when:** H10 evidence notes filled; Ghost governance candidates refined.
---
### T03 — Law/governance gap sketch for Sp./Gh.
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0006-T03
status: todo
priority: medium
```
Map Soul Frame concepts → existing legal categories → gaps (publicity rights,
personality rights, data protection, estates). No premature legal conclusions.
**Done when:** gap sketch in `research/law-governance/`.
---
### T04 — Phase V synthesis note
```task
id: SOUL-WP-0006-T04
status: todo
priority: medium
```
Write `research/phase-v-spirits-ghosts-synthesis.md`. Confirm H9 (provenance
descriptors vs exclusive kinds).
**Done when:** synthesis exists; synthesis phase can freeze Sp./Gh. working defs.
