Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”The Identity Module handles identity, personhood, affiliation, and permissions for individuals and organizations.
Problem
Section titled “Problem”Identity systems are often tightly bound to states, companies, schools, or platforms. This design needs an identity foundation that supports multi-affiliation without forcing people into a single authority.
- Individual identity
- Organizational identity
- Affiliation
- Permissions
- Authentication
- Multi-affiliation
Out of Scope
Section titled “Out of Scope”- Reputation scoring
- Economic transactions
- Dispute resolution
- Control of personal beliefs
Relationship to Other Modules
Section titled “Relationship to Other Modules”Identity connects to governance roles, welfare eligibility, economic access, and arbitration parties. It should not directly control reputation, economy, or dispute outcomes.
Initial Notes
Section titled “Initial Notes”This design may need to interoperate with state-issued identity, but it should not become fully dependent on it.
Open Questions
Section titled “Open Questions”- How should this design interoperate with state-issued identity?
- How can anonymity and trust be balanced?
- How should multiple identities and impersonation be handled?
