A condition in which an AI system has a physical, embodied form present in the user's environment, treated as a graded contextual property of the interaction setting rather than as a discrete event or an effect claim.
STATE. Coded per interaction setting on an ordinal scale of physical co-presence: 0 = screen/text only, 1 = audio or projected presence, 2 = stationary embodied device, 3 = mobile/object-handling embodied robot sharing the user's space. Coding is based on the system's observable form, independent of any behavioural outcome.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Setting-level coding of the co-presence level (0-3) by raters from session metadata or video, with agreement could be reported as weighted kappa. Distinct from any outcome instrument: this schema indexes the embodiment condition only, not its consequences.
