How Cascade Proof Destroys Every Power Structure Built on Attribution Control

Crumbling institutional pillars representing 5,000 years of attribution monopoly, with an empowered individual holding cryptographic identity key and glowing with Portable Identity light, symbolizing the end of centralized power structures

For 5,000 years, whoever controlled the answer to ”who created this value?” controlled everything. Portable Identity makes that question answerable by individuals—cryptographically, permanently, completely. The most important power in civilization has never been the power to create value. It has been the power to attribute value. The power to say: ”This person created this”—and make How Cascade Proof Destroys Every Power Structure Built on Attribution Control

THE PORTABLE IDENTITY DOCTRINE

The Portable Identity Doctrine: Five foundational pillars showing public health, human rights, economic efficiency, democratic sovereignty, and civilizational continuity as infrastructure requirements for digital society

Why Digital Civilization Requires a New Infrastructure Layer This doctrine outlines the structural requirements for digital civilization. It establishes that Portable Identity is not optional infrastructure, but foundational architecture upon which functioning digital society must be built. What follows is not a proposal for consideration, but a recognition of what already exists as necessity. EXECUTIVE THE PORTABLE IDENTITY DOCTRINE

The Architecture That Makes Platforms Optional

Why Portable Identity Is Not Coming—It’s Inevitable Something irreversible is happening to the internet’s foundational layer. Not a new application. Not a faster protocol. Not a better interface. The architecture of identity itself is shifting from captivity to portability. And the economic logic that built trillion-dollar empires on identity lock-in is about to invert completely.
