Federation across Semantic Spaces
How RSM, Wellzai, and Musewoods are proposed to share identity without sharing storage: cross-space references by RID, Atlas traversal, and transfers that keep the RID.
Identity lifecycle
Reserved, active, deprecated, superseded, and retired as Document 08 v1.1 defines them, with the permitted transitions and why no state ever frees an RID for reuse.
One referent across many systems
How one real-world resource keeps one RID while a cooperative, a certifier, a buyer, and a watershed council each keep their own records, identifiers, and governance.
Registration and controlled issuance
Prefixes, delegated authority, the controlled issuance sequence, idempotent retries, and permanent non-reuse — the rules that make an RID trustworthy before anyone resolves it.
RID, RRN, and RSN
Three constructs that are easy to blur: the RID identifies, an RRN names, and an RSN names a Semantic Space that has an RID of its own.
The anatomy of an Identity Record
What an RSM Identity Record contains, keyed by RID: the required minimum, the recommended additions, and the things it deliberately does not hold.
The complete RSM ID architecture
How the RID, RRN, Identity Record, registries, resolver, Semantic Space, and Locus fit together — and which of them hold identity, and which hold knowledge.
The Journey of an RSM Identity
Follow one illustrative paper from registration to resolution and revision, and see which parts change and which never do. The source deck for the guided Reel.
The resolution sequence
The logical steps a conforming resolver follows, the eight typed outcomes, and how Document 08 v1.1 maps them to HTTP without leaking what policy keeps private.
