But isn't it all claims processing? That is, in the digital realm, which is all that the VC model uses, there are only claims, verified or otherwise. Identity is something that exists in the physical world, and that is not provable here: one can show that a virtual object, say a Holder, registered itself, and registered a Subject, and registered a Claim about the Subject, in a fixed form..and that form can be stored in a Repository, and Inspected. How will this be related to processing "Identity"? I'm not saying it can't be. But abstractly I can't see it yet. Can you give an example? Steven
