`identity`

credentials and who the agent can act as

A node carries no inherent meaning. What identity means here emerges from the edges traceable from it, and confidence in that meaning is proportional to how richly it is connected. It is connected to 3 of 23 primitives here. That, and not the sentence above, is what it means. The discipline this follows ↗.
