CORRECTED_PUBLIC_EDITION

Corrected repository edition

/docs/long-term-memory/reports/machine-cryptographic-identity-architecture.md

The corrected durable edition is stored at /docs/long-term-memory/reports/machine-cryptographic-identity-architecture.md. The public route presents its governed correction record without exposing the blocked source body.

Correction summary

Rejected the claim that identity and authority are synonymous with mathematical proof; a valid signature proves key control, not citizenship, institutional competence, legal permission, legitimacy, or truth. Classified all listed DIDs, institutions, root identities, keys, rotations, revocations, threshold quorums, and examples as design fixtures unless separately evidenced. Removed mandatory reliance on draft or unverified composite-signature encodings and required standards-currentness review before implementation. Reassigned citizen identity, credential issuance, passport operations, recovery, and contextual trust to Patefacere while retaining public institutional-key governance on Eviulon. Required offline recovery, conflict handling, split-view detection, cryptographic deprecation, signer-role separation, and unavailable states.

Raw-source boundary

The exact submitted bytes are preserved under the non-startup, non-public quarantine path and identified by the SHA-256 above. Active memory points only to the corrected edition, doctrine, and correction record. This separation preserves provenance while preventing the submitted report from silently redefining ecosystem roles.
