The Corpus

Written to be verified.

Every document in the corpus cross-references the same invariants, the same real hashes, and the same honest status labels. Where a claim is checkable, the document says how to check it; where a component is not yet real, the document says so.

I — Primary documents

The anchor texts.

Branded PDFs, built from source and reproducible from the pipeline.
Executive Paper

PRAXIS — The Trust Infrastructure for the Agentic Economy

The comprehensive executive & technical exposition

The full narrative: the brand thesis, the five-plane architecture, the Agentic Identity Document and its four questions, the three-layer anchoring model, the two hash rules, the verification flow, the TAP stack, the reproducibility baseline, honest boundaries, and the investment logic — each mapped with a diagram.

PRAXIS Agent ID — A Verifiable Identity Standard for Autonomous Agents

The normative reference

Design philosophy, the eleven invariants, the anatomy of the Agentic Identity Document, canonicalization and the two hash rules, the threat model, golden vectors, the engineering substrate, ecosystem binding, and the phased roadmap.

The PRAXIS Architecture — How the Layers Compose

The external-facing companion

The five planes, the meaning/proof asymmetry, custody classes, assurance floors, a worked identity with real values, why Tezos, permanence economics, federation, the counterparty procedure, and the investment logic.

Quantum Field — The Brand Mark

The canonical identity lockup

The condensing probability field, the concentric-ring Q monogram, the palette, and the statement — the visual system that runs through every surface.

II — Design documents

Engineering-grade rationale, in the repository.

The design records that govern the reference implementation.
docs / AID_DESIGN.md

Agent ID design

Field-by-field rationale for the identity document: the delegation-root rule, capability semantics, assurance floors, lifecycle transitions, and the canonicalization contract with its two non-circular hash definitions.

Knowledge-graph design

Deterministic projection to RDF, named graphs keyed by content hash, the set-containment verification model, PROV-O lineage, federation by set union, and the Oxigraph proof.

contracts / DESIGN.md

Anchor contract design

The soulbound FA2 in SmartPy: storage model, the five TAP-8 events, the two-step controller handoff, fail-closed transfer semantics, and the explicit pre-audit boundary.

Governance of meaning

The vision-to-code map with SHIPPED / PARTIAL / ROADMAP / VISION statuses, the canonical-vocabulary decisions, and the standing brief every contributor — human or agent — must read before changing anything.

III — The reference implementation

The package the documents describe.

Everything above is checkable against this.
@praxis/agent-id

The canonical package

Schemas, the operational SDK (real signature verification, a live Arweave client, a deployable resolver), the canonicalizer, the knowledge-graph module, golden vectors, the SmartPy contract and test harness, the ontology, generated examples, the full test suite, and the CI pipeline with its drift gate.

Golden vectors

Nine acceptance and three rejection vectors under the versioned encoding praxis-canonical-json/1 — the cross-implementation conformance contract for any second implementation, in any language.
