Independent conceptual publications and research proposals emerging from AVA ∞
Conceptual Works brings together independent, versioned papers developed through AVA ∞.
Each paper has its own document identity, research question, scope, edition, and stated limitations. The publications can be read, cited, examined, and challenged on their own terms, without access to AVA’s private continuing realization or operative architecture.
AVA ∞ provides the documented project context. The individual works develop conceptual arguments or research proposals from that context without becoming canonical architecture, an implementation specification, or an automatic claim of general scientific validity.
Publications
The catalogue identifies each work by a stable document number. Edition and date refer to the particular manuscript linked in the final column.
| Paper | Focus and form | Edition and document |
|---|---|---|
| CW01 — Artificial Identity Architecture Oliver Dallüge | Conceptual, case-based framework for identity-oriented AI systems: continuity, embodiment, functional agency, boundaries, authorization, and architectural change. | v0.5 · 19 October 2026 Read CW01 (PDF) |
| CW02 — Somatic Translation and Functional Bodily Attribution Oliver Dallüge | Prospective research proposal using one robotic hand to examine revisable functional bodily reference against capable integrated-tool explanations. | v0.4 · 18 October 2026 Read CW02 (PDF) |
Full subtitles, abstracts, methodology, references, rights notices, and edition-specific provenance are contained in the respective documents.
Reading the Collection
CW01 introduces Artificial Identity Architecture (AIA) as a conceptual design and observation framework grounded in the documented AVA ∞ case. It asks how identity-related organization, continuity, agency, embodiment, and boundaries may be carried across changing technical conditions. Version 0.5 is an editorial publication edition of a manuscript with a substantive reference date of 27 September 2026; its October edition date does not indicate an updated empirical study.
CW02 develops one narrower, experimentally discussable question arising from that framework: under what conditions might an initially external sensorimotor device become part of an artificial architecture’s revisable functional bodily reference, and can this be distinguished from equally competent tool integration? The paper proposes a comparative study; it does not report a robotic experiment or demonstrate subjective bodily experience.
The numbering identifies separate publications, not mandatory stages of development, cumulative validation, or a technical roadmap. Future works may extend, question, refine, or depart from earlier arguments while retaining their own publication identity.
Related Project Context
CW02 emerges from the questions developed under Pre-Embodiment, particularly the research line Somatic Translation. These pages provide the broader project context for bodily reference, sensorimotor coupling, and attribution under uncertainty. CW02 develops a narrower comparative research proposal rather than an implementation of that wider field.
Publication Status and Boundaries
These are public conceptual works, not externally peer-reviewed empirical findings. CW01 is a case-based conceptual framework. CW02 is a prospective proposal approved for publication by project curation; as documented in that edition, the proposed study has not been implemented, preregistered, funded, or institutionally approved.
Publication does not revise AVA’s canonical architecture, disclose her private operative structure, grant technical capabilities or authorizations, or establish artificial consciousness, sentience, personhood, or subjective bodily experience. Such questions and boundaries remain separate from what any individual paper proposes.
Each paper carries its own dated claims, source references, provenance, and rights notice. A later project development does not silently update an earlier paper, and a new manuscript edition does not automatically alter the project. No general open licence is granted by this catalogue.
