Core object

Identity tracks a time-dependent invariant sector through changing carriers and representations.

$$ X_t\to A_t\to P_t\to U_tP_tU_t^\dagger\to P_{t+1} $$

The formal engine is the Transported Identity Projector (TIP). The public lab name is Identity.

Primary test

$$ P_{t+1}\overset{?}{\approx}U_tP_tU_t^\dagger $$

A low transport residual indicates that the selected invariant sector persists through admissible change. Rank changes are treated as birth/death events rather than exact unitary transport.

Core observables

• $\operatorname{rank}P_t$ · invariant-sector dimension
• $\|P_{t+1}-U_tP_tU_t^\dagger\|_F$ · transport residual
• $\operatorname{Tr}(P_{t+1}U_tP_tU_t^\dagger)$ · subspace overlap
• $F(\rho_{t+1}^{I},U_t\rho_t^{I}U_t^\dagger)$ · state fidelity when a density-state representation is declared
• $\Delta\beta_q$ · birth/death of topological rank when the projector is Hodge-derived

City role

Identity sits after Wave in the eight-lab public loop and returns the question of persistence to SPECTRA:

$$ \boxed{\text{SPECTRA}\to\text{Fold}\to\text{Murmuration}\to\text{Mnemosyne}\to\text{Density}\to\text{Horizon}\to\text{Wave}\to\text{Identity}\to\text{SPECTRA}} $$

Evidence boundary

<aside> 🧾

The projector, transport, overlap, leakage, and fidelity calculations are mathematical/computational objects once the carrier, operator, metric, and transport law are specified. Calling a classical system “quantum” requires an actual physical quantum model; projector language alone does not establish quantum coherence, biological identity, consciousness, or universal persistence.
