Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Self — what a self is — the minimal, bodily and pre-reflective self, self-models and the sense of being a subject, the self as process or as context, and whether machines or groups can be selves. Not the person, which is personhood (group: philosophy; ADR-024).

| # | Title | Summary | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| TERM-045 v7 | self, and which sense | The record uses “self” in at least seven senses. ADR-024 reserves the topic word for being a subject. This term lists the senses so that a claim using “self” says which: subject, dispositional (extended), persisting, narrative, self-governing, integrated and presented. A claim that leaves the sense open is stated in this term’s words as “self (sense open)”. | Active |
| TERM-072 v6 | perspective, and which sense: organizational, represented or phenomenal | The exchange on experience and interpretation used “perspective” in three senses and, by A11’s own account, slid between them. Organizational is a realized regime in which the availability, significance and efficacy of interpretations are mutually conditioned. Represented is a system’s model of its own standpoint. Phenomenal is a lived point of view. The constitutive thesis is that some organizational perspectives are phenomenal ones, so its claims must say which sense they use. Self-maintaining organizational perspective is a narrower subclass, not the definition. Adopted 2026-10-29, with character and lineage read as relations among realizations. | Active |
| TERM-075 v2 | attributed self, and which sense: held, imagined, imagined audience or appropriated | The record’s selves (TERM-045) are all held or given by the person, the presented self included. CLAIM-415 needs four further objects it had no names for: what others take a person to be and act on, what the person takes them to take them to be, who the person takes “them” to be, and the attribution taken up by the person as their own. They can come apart, and the claim depends on their doing so. Filed 2026-10-22 at the owner’s request, gathering two phrases from the exchange of that day (“socially operative identity” and “recursive social self-modeling”) that were first left unfiled. Adopted 2026-10-29. | Active |
