Documentary abstract — original language

Presents the ACEA Framework for graduated AI personhood grounded in five empirically assessable pillars. Drawing on corporate personhood (1819), environmental personhood (2017), and animal rights jurisprudence, the paper introduces a four-level graduated rights model (Tool through Full Person) and the Precautionary Principle for AI Consciousness.
