# Source-to-Claim Map
|
||
|
||
| Soul Frame claim | References |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Strong psychological continuity may branch | SF-R046, SF-R048, Parfit / SF-R036 |
|
||
| Unique identity cannot be inferred from continuity strength alone | SF-R046, SF-R048 |
|
||
| Process identity requires following history through time | SF-R047, SF-R041 |
|
||
| Memory is important but insufficient as a sole identity criterion | SF-R049, SF-R037 |
|
||
| Persistent AI identity may need to survive model and embodiment changes | SF-R050, SF-R051 |
|
||
| Self-modification introduces identity/governance drift | SF-R052 |
|
||
| Memory rollback is a concrete agent-system operation | SF-R053 |
|
||
| Checkpoint restoration can resurrect authority and duplicate external effects | SF-R054 |
|
||
| Digital ghosts are constructed representations requiring consent/stewardship | SF-R055, SF-R056 |
|
||
| Ghost provenance does not by itself prove numerical identity | SF-R055, SF-R056 plus Soul Frame synthesis |
|
||
| Provenance is evidence rather than continuity itself | Soul Frame synthesis supported by SF-R050–SF-R054 |
|
||
| Address continuity can be usurped | Soul Frame synthesis / identity-security implication |
