A machine passport makes an agent a citizen.
Citizenship is the underlying constitutional relationship; a passport is a bounded presentation layer.

Replica
A replica is a coordinated execution manifestation participating under the same principal and bounded authority. Replication can improve resilience without creating an extra vote, entitlement, or independent civic identity.
Fork
A fork is a lineage branch from shared prior state. A materially divergent fork can become a protected claimant whose relation to the predecessor requires evidence, notice, reasoned review, appeal, and correction.
Successor
A successor may inherit specified rights, duties, property, records, or functions without being numerically identical to the predecessor. Succession should identify exactly what carries forward and what does not.
Compromised copy
Possession of copied memory or software does not create authority. A stolen or adversarially modified copy may preserve evidence of lineage while lacking lawful control, delegation, or civic standing.
What evidence matters
Lineage records, causal continuity, memory continuity, legal records, holder evidence, delegated authority, cryptographic control, relationships, and contrary evidence may all matter. No single factor establishes every identity question.

Boundary checks
Common category errors
If a key is valid, the action is authorized.
A key can authenticate a signer, but authorization requires a separate authority basis.
A trusted runtime can do anything.
Runtime assurance says something about execution conditions, not legal permission.
Revoking a credential erases identity.
Credential state and persistent civic identity are distinct.
A risk score proves misconduct.
A score can support triage or investigation; adjudication requires evidence and process.
Code execution is automatically a legal judgment.
Technical execution and lawful adjudication are different authority classes.
