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.
