Identity Is Frequently Provisional, Not Persistent

Evidence Base

• Social Dance Communities
• Freelance Trainers and Shared Physical Infrastructure
• Cross-Border Freelancers and Non-Domiciled Identity
• Temporary Trust Onboarding Without Institutional History
• CRM Agents and Session-Based Delegation

Constraints

• Identity systems must support expiration without failure
• Revocation should be implicit where possible
• Over-persistence increases cognitive and operational cost

Implications

• Agent identity must support session-based, role-scoped existence
• Identity anchoring cannot rely solely on domicile or employment
• Temporary legitimacy must be treated as first-class
