Method — Rights of Robots
Definition, scope boundary, and structural model.
Definition
Rights of Robots is a Persona-type semantic subject identified by the name Rights of Robots and constituted as a bounded, persistent and referenceable semantic identity.
The semantic identity establishes Rights of Robots as the subject of reference without requiring its current research architecture, research content, representations, or individual claims to constitute that identity.
Model Classification
The Rights of Robots Persona is structured as an Identity-Reference Model.
The model distinguishes the identifying name from the semantic subject it identifies and treats semantic boundary and continuity as conditions of that subject. Research architectures, research content, representations, and individual claims remain distinct from the constitutive identity structure.
Scope Boundary

Identity-Reference Structure
Name (Rights of Robots) —[identifies]→ Persona (Rights of Robots)
The name Rights of Robots identifies the Persona but is not identical to the Persona. The Persona provides the semantic subject to which established claims, representations, structures, and relationships may refer.
Subject Boundary
The Persona has a bounded semantic constitution. A candidate attribute, relationship, representation, structure, or claim may therefore be established as belonging to the semantic subject, established as outside that subject, or remain not established.
Absence of establishment does not constitute evidence of falsehood and does not authorize inference. Public association with Rights of Robots does not by itself make an element part of its semantic constitution.
Semantic Continuity
The Rights of Robots Persona may remain semantically continuous while its research inventory, public representations, and associated structures change.
Persistence does not require immutability. A change in research inventory or representation does not by itself establish a change in the semantic constitution of the Persona. Changes to that constitution require governed revision.
Research Architecture and Content
Rights of Robots has an established research architecture and associated research content. Their existence may support valid claims about Rights of Robots without making either identical to the Persona.
Changes to research areas, publications, reference implementations, or other research structures do not by themselves establish a change in the semantic constitution of Rights of Robots.
Existing Public Representation
The existing public web presence of Rights of Robots is a representation of the semantic subject and an environment in which established information about it is published.
Its prior existence does not make its information architecture constitutive of the Persona or determinative of the Semantic Core.
Claims and Constitution
Claims about Rights of Robots may describe its activities, research structures, relationships, or representations without thereby becoming constituents of its semantic identity.
The validity of a claim and its membership in the semantic constitution are separate determinations.
Transferability
The established Semantic Core model is applicable to Rights of Robots as a Persona-type semantic subject.
The Identity-Reference Model documented here is subject-specific to Rights of Robots. Any broader Persona-Core structure requires independent cross-implementation evaluation.
