# 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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
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.
