+# Personhood — Project Charter v0.1
+
+## Purpose
+Develop a multidimensional, testable framework of personhood for mixed-intelligence societies, enabling experimental legal rule systems with tiered rights/obligations and downgrade mechanisms.
+
+## Problem
+Binary personhood breaks under heterogeneous agents (humans, AIs, orgs, hybrids). We need portable terminology, tests, and rule modules that jurisdictions can adopt and evolve.
+
+## Outcome
+- a dimensional personhood space (capability-based, substrate-independent)
+- a modular rights/obligations library
+- violation → downgrade logic (enforceable within platforms)
+- portability across “interaction spaces” (marketplaces, communities)
+
+## Boundaries (v0.1)
+- Focus on conceptual and operational primitives, not a single “ideal law”.
+- Emphasize clarity, testability, and portability.
+
+## Success criteria (v0.1)
+- A coherent framework that can be implemented as platform governance.
+- Example jurisdictions and rule packs for specific interaction spaces.
