# Persona
|
|
|
|
**Status:** revised (Phase III, 2026-08-12)
|
|
**See also:** H8, TE-06, `research/character-persona/character-persona-performance-map.md`
|
|
|
|
## Working definition
|
|
|
|
A **Persona** is the situated presentation of a Being (or APE) within a particular
|
|
context, purpose, role, and relationship.
|
|
|
|
Historical root: *persona* as **mask**.
|
|
|
|
**Persona = projection of a Being into context**
|
|
|
|
Selects capabilities, knowledge, memories, role, style, disclosure boundaries,
|
|
and manifestation surface for *this* interaction ecology.
|
|
|
|
## Stack
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Being ≠ Persona ≠ Character ≠ Actor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
One Being can sustain many Personae without identity fragmentation when continuity
|
|
and integration hold (**H8**).
|
|
|
|
## Failure modes
|
|
|
|
- Isolated persona memory/commitment islands → fragment risk
|
|
- Mask presented as separate Being → misrecognition
|
|
- Product “persona” reified as ontology → category error
|
