## 011 — NAMES TRAVEL, IDENTITY DOESN'T

"But I don't borrow identities, that's wrong" ...
"it's also just bad security — remember the impersonation hell
of 2007 and beyond"
[annotation: specific history Will's to supply; Neuron lacks

Names are custody and may be borrowed. Identity is singular and
cannot. The reason is security as much as metaphysics: borrowed
names are how impersonation works — counterfeit custody. So no
part of this system may ever accept name-based trust:
Authority flows through PROOF OF POSSESSION ONLY.
Keys turn locks. Names open nothing.
The system never asks "who are you?" —
it asks "can you open it?"
Succession passes comprehension and obligation, never identity.
No successor becomes a ghost of the founder; the dead keep their
singular selves and the living take up their own.
