Composition
zo (living organism) + to (conceptual pattern) — the conceptual pattern that is characteristic of a living being. Head-final: to (pattern) is head; zo specifies the living-entity domain.
Definition
soul; the organizing conceptual pattern of a living entity; the identity-pattern that constitutes what a being is.
Notes
KEEP DISTINCT FROM zo-si (W069). zo-to = the organizing pattern of a living being's identity — the soul as the constitutive conceptual structure of a person. A person has zo-to. zo-si = a disembodied living-signal agent — the soul as a separate entity that can exist without a body. A ghost IS zo-si. This mirrors the philosophical split between soul-as-pattern and soul-as-entity. Crucially: lo-mu zo-to as a doctrinal claim (wrapped in to-re-su si) is metaphysically neutral — the language asserts what the doctrine claims, not whether zo-to is objectively real.
