# Body
|
|
|
|
**Status:** retained (Phase I, 2026-08-12)
|
|
**Working gloss:** Body = Action
|
|
|
|
## Working definition
|
|
|
|
The operational dimension of a Being: channels of perception and action.
|
|
|
|
For artificial beings: language interfaces, APIs, tools, sensors, databases,
|
|
actuators, avatars, compute, permissions — possibly distributed and replaceable.
|
|
|
|
## Phase I notes
|
|
|
|
- Body ≠ identity; RN-005 Body replacement can preserve Being with continuity.
|
|
- Multi-Body manifestation need not be a fork if constitutive integration holds.
|
|
- Body is present-tense coupling; Soul carries diachronic relation.
|
|
|
|
## Open issues
|
|
|
|
- Minimal body for a Being?
|
|
- Relation between Body and Actor (Actor is technical manifestation stack;
|
|
Body is the functional action dimension — often overlapping in practice).
