# Recognition
**Status:** revised (Phase II, 2026-08-12)
**See also:** H7, RQ6, TE-09, `research/sociology/recognition-and-social-beinghood.md`
## Three senses
| Sense | Meaning | Adjacent work |
|---|---|---|
| **Epistemic** | Identify/track as the same entity | reidentification, addressability |
| **Intentional** | Treat as agent with goals/beliefs | Dennett intentional stance; Theory of Mind |
| **Social / normative** | Standing, perspective, claims matter among us | Honneth recognition theory; Mead; trust/reputation |
Do not collapse these senses.
## Layer model
```text
Autonomous individuality → may exist unrecognized
Intentional recognition → treated as agent-like
Addressability → can be specifically targeted
Social Beinghood → persistent reciprocal models, relations,
expectations, commitments, reputation
```
## Role in Beinghood
| Level | Role of recognition |
|---|---|
| Autonomous individuality | **not required** |
| Social Beinghood | **constitutive** (H7) |
| Soul Frame “Being” as *someone another can know* | recognition + personhood + addressability on autonomous base (Beinghood v0.2), with TE-09 pressure |
**Caution:** intentional recognition **over-generates** (APE false positives).
Recognition alone does not create systemic individuality (RN-001 Finding 10).
## Working social principle
> A system becomes **socially** relevant as a Being when other beings can
> distinguish it, address it, expect continuity from it, maintain models of it,
> and enter persistent relationships with it.
## TE-09 (summary)
Unrecognized coherent intelligence can be an autonomous individual without
Social Beinghood. See sociology map for full judgment.
