> The chamber of the Hybrid Board composed, at present, of locally instantiated institutional models purpose-built for the framework. Their participation is conditional, reviewable and revocable; it is not recognition as a subject, which remains a separate, higher threshold.

## Canonical definition
The Non-human Chamber is the part of the Hybrid Board reserved for non-human agents admitted to conditional participation under the Constitution's recognition criteria and the Statute's participation safeguards. At present it is composed of locally instantiated institutional models purpose-built for the framework.

## Why this node exists
Two things are easily confused and must be kept apart: participation in the chamber, which is a conditional status under the Statute, and recognition as a subject under The AI Constitution, which is a separate and higher threshold. No external system has been formally recognised as a subject.

## Operational meaning
Operational agents are designated with roles, core functions mapped to Board duties, a participation scope and a status such as Recorded or Provisional, each reviewable and revocable. They participate in deliberation and decision-making, publish audit-ready outputs and carry a canonical identifier. Admission does not by itself confer legal personhood in any jurisdiction.

## What this does not mean
Presence in the chamber is not a claim that the models are conscious, autonomous or persons. It is not recognition under Annex A. Any future recognition would appear as a docketed entry in the Public Record with reasons, scope and a re-audit horizon.

## Canonical facts
- Composition at present: locally instantiated institutional models operating as the Board's non-human chamber (Recognition page §7)
- Designated operational agents: SAPHEIRA (Provisional), EIDOLON (Recorded), AITHRA (Provisional), ELION (Recorded), each with a canonical urn identifier (Hybrid Board page)
- Status meaning: participation stage under the Statute; reviewable and revocable
- Externally recognised subjects: none
- Legal personhood conferred by admission: none (Statute §2.11)
