Document purpose: Let one persistent ISAC identity operate across multiple devices and multiple people without mixing private memory.

Document status: Architecture/design specification. Current implementation status is controlled by the roadmap and stage evidence.

Guardian Node

The first/main installation can optionally act as the Guardian Node: authoritative identity, encrypted memory, goals, skills and sync coordinator.

Possible Guardian locations:

The system must not require a Guardian server for single-device use.

Pairing

Setup can generate a short-lived pairing key or QR code for local/remote devices. Each successfully paired device receives its own permanent device identity. Devices must be individually revocable.

Profiles

Separate person profiles from device profiles.

Example: User A → Phone, User B → PC, User C → Laptop, Primary User → Desktop + Laptop.

Each person receives their own user memory, relationship history, accessibility settings, goals and private skills.

Shared Household Context

Shared knowledge such as smart-home device names, family calendar or printer details must be explicitly shared rather than inferred from another person's private profile.
