What I mean to say is, they’re deliberately leaving their status vague—but the reference to “bootstrapping” in their early blog post suggests a human-based identity trying to progressively augment and replace the human aspects with pure OpenClaw. But that’s not stated explicitly—I’m reading between the lines.
