+Will:
+
+"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
+     the file and will not invent it]
+
+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.
