Maintain owner-authored profile knowledge

Core meaning

Capability purpose

Let the owner state what matters about themselves without conflating self-description with inferred observations.

Meaningful outcome

Current owner-authored profile knowledge and its revision history are available for authorized use.

Boundaries — includes

create, edit, organize, version, archive, and context-link owner-authored self-description.

Boundaries — excludes

inferred profile assertions, observed patterns, automatic conversion to profile truth, and public sharing policy.

Terms and concepts

owner-authored profile knowledge is self-description controlled directly by the profile subject.

Interaction Contract MLEs

Revise owner-authored profile knowledge

Actor

The owner.

Command / intent

Create or change an explicit self-description.

Current state

A profile knowledge object may exist with a current revision.

Policies / invariants

Owner edits take precedence over inference; changes are versioned; the content remains distinguishable from observed/evidence-backed assertions; conversion to another knowledge class requires a governed proposal.

Transition

Apply the authorized change and append revision/provenance evidence.

Result

Updated owner-authored profile knowledge with prior state recoverable.

Events / effects

Authorized retrieval may use the current version; proposed interpretations may reference it as evidence.

Unknowns

A universal category set is not required by current PIOS.

Rules and defaults

Rules / invariants

• Owner-authored profile content must not automatically become observed profile truth.

• Prefer natural-language living knowledge over compulsory form fields.

Unknown / unresolved

• Public operational realization is not confirmed.
