Canonical Definition

Identity State defines the structural conditions under which the current status of an
identity can be determined, classified, and verified at any point in time.

An identity is valid only when its state is observable, traceable, and derived from its
full event history.

Why This Matters

An identity may exist, but without a defined state, it cannot be evaluated.

Without identity state:

• identity status may be unclear
• compromised identities may remain undetected
• systems cannot distinguish valid from invalid identity
• decisions may rely on unknown identity conditions

This creates environments where identity cannot be reliably used.

Identity State ensures that identity is always measurable and interpretable.

Minimum Implementation Framework (MIF)

Step 1 — Define Identity States

The system must define observable identity states.

Minimum requirement:

• valid
• compromised
• suspended
• restored
• unknown

Step 2 — Link State to Event History

Identity state must be derived from traceable events.

Minimum requirement:

• state based on recorded events
• no arbitrary or hidden state assignment
• traceable logic for state changes

Step 3 — Enable State Verification

Identity state must be independently verifiable.

Minimum requirement:

• reconstructable state from event history
• observable current state
• verifiable state transitions

Step 4 — Maintain State Consistency

Identity state must remain consistent with actual identity condition.

Minimum requirement:

• no mismatch between state and reality
• no hidden state manipulation
• no undefined state changes

Use Case 1 — Identity Trust Classification

Scenario
A system must determine whether an identity can be trusted for interaction,
transaction, or decision-making.

Application
Identity State provides a clear classification of identity status based on its history
and integrity.

Result

• clear trust evaluation
• ability to filter valid vs compromised identities
• improved decision reliability

Use Case 2 — Identity Recovery and Restoration

Scenario
An identity becomes compromised and requires restoration.

Application
Identity State tracks the transition from compromised to restored through verifiable
events.

Result

• traceable recovery process
• clear state transition history
• restored trust based on evidence

Structural Principle

An identity that cannot express its state cannot be evaluated.

Closing Statement

Identity is not only what it is.
It is also the state it is in.
