TheOtherDave got it right; I’m wasn’t trying to give a complete definition of what is and isn’t a paperclip, I was just offering forth an easy to define (without human values) subset that we would still call paperclips.
It has plenty of false negatives, but I don’t really see that as a loss. Likewise, your personhood algorithm doesn’t bother me as long as we don’t use it to establish non-personhood.

Ah. This distinction escaped me; I tend to use definitions in a formal logical style (P or ~P, no other options).
