# Personhood
|
||
|
||
**Status:** revised (Phase III, 2026-08-12)
|
||
**See also:** H2, RQ2, APE, RN-003, `research/personhood/personhood-dimensions-map.md`
|
||
|
||
## Working definition
|
||
|
||
**Personhood** is the multidimensional extent to which an entity exhibits
|
||
properties commonly associated with persons (*someone-like* qualities).
|
||
|
||
Unless qualified, Soul Frame uses personhood **descriptively** — not as moral or
|
||
legal status.
|
||
|
||
## Four kinds (do not collapse)
|
||
|
||
| Kind | Focus |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Descriptive** | Person-like capacities and structures (default) |
|
||
| **Social** | Treatment as social counterpart |
|
||
| **Moral** | Moral consideration / duties |
|
||
| **Legal** | Legal personality and rights/duties |
|
||
|
||
## Descriptive profile (P1–P12)
|
||
|
||
| ID | Dimension |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| P1 | Self-model |
|
||
| P2 | Other-model |
|
||
| P3 | Relationship model |
|
||
| P4 | Character |
|
||
| P5 | Intentional organization |
|
||
| P6 | Autobiographical integration |
|
||
| P7 | Perspective (entity-relative; not solved consciousness) |
|
||
| P8 | Commitments |
|
||
| P9 | Social reciprocity |
|
||
| P10 | Communicative competence |
|
||
| P11 | Responsibility-tracking |
|
||
| P12 | Value / preference structure |
|
||
|
||
Profile, not binary checklist.
|
||
|
||
## Three axes
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
A — Autonomous individuality
|
||
B — Descriptive personhood
|
||
C — Social recognition
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
High B without A → strong **APE**, not necessarily **Being**.
|
||
High A without B → autonomous individual (e.g. daemon), not someone-like Being.
|
||
|
||
## Relation to Being
|
||
|
||
Personhood = qualities exhibited.
|
||
Beinghood v0.2 = autonomy layer + sufficient personhood + addressability + recognition.
|
||
|
||
## APE
|
||
|
||
**Artificial Personhood-Exposing Entity** — constructed to expose ≥1 personhood
|
||
dimensions. Construction category, not moral/legal person claim.
