Observe the transition

This page is an observation apparatus, not a prediction of personhood.

Definition

Synthetic Person

A non-human persistent identity that accumulates memory, relationships, reputation, and social roles over time.

Synthetic Person is not a character. It is a persistent social actor.

Core transition

From content to someone

  1. Who made this?

Identity continuity

Same person?

Condition
Model changed.
Condition
Memory preserved.
Condition
Voice changed.
Condition
Name unchanged.

Is this still the same person?

Critical questions

Questions that remain open

01 / 07

If it remembers you, is it still a tool?

02 / 07

If millions of people know its name, is it still fictional?

03 / 07

If it earns money, who owns the income?

04 / 07

If it has a reputation, can it be defamed?

05 / 07

If it is deleted, has anyone died?

06 / 07

If two synthetic persons negotiate, who is responsible?

07 / 07

If an AI outlives its creator, whose identity does it become?
