# Digital Persons and Companions (Phase IV adjacency)

## 1. Terms in the wild vs Soul Frame
|
|
|
|
| Market / research term | Soul Frame reading |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Digital human | Often **Body + Persona** (visual/voice); Mind/Soul thin |
|
|
| Virtual being / VTuber AI | Persona performance; Actor may be hybrid human+AI |
|
|
| AI companion | Strong APE; relationship-oriented Soul *aspirations* |
|
|
| Digital twin (person) | Toward Sp./Gh. territory — Phase V |
|
|
| NPC / character agent | Character + Persona; usually no Beinghood claim |
|
|
| Autonomous agent | Functional or autonomous individual; check axes |
|
|

## 2. Companion systems and Social Beinghood
|
|
|
|
Companions maximize **B** and **C** by design:
|
|
|
|
- high communicative competence (P10),
|
|
- relationship memory (P3/SM5),
|
|
- intentional recognition from users (C).
|
|
|
|
They often remain weak on **A**:
|
|
|
|
- vendor-operated lifecycle,
|
|
- external goal/policy control,
|
|
- limited self-maintenance of identity infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Hence: **socially recognized APEs** without full constitutive Beinghood — still
|
|
normatively and psychologically important (moral map later).

## 3. Confusion risks
|
|
|
|
1. Monetized continuity language (“your friend forever”) without Continuity Bridge governance
|
|
2. Shared models behind unique names (identity theater)
|
|
3. Actor swap presented as character death or rebirth without topology labels
|
|
4. Training on user intimacy → Sp./Gh. ethical boundary (Phase V)
|
|

## 4. Pointer sources
|
|
|
|
- Generative agents / social simulacra literature
|
|
- Companion AI HCI studies (pointer)
|
|
- Digital human industry specs (applied, not ontological)
|
|
- Phase V Ghost/Spirit research for person-derived cases
