Maintain a personal AI identity

Core meaning

Capability purpose: Give a personal AI a stable, owner-governed identity without inventing separate memory, world truth, authority, or runtime identity.
Meaningful outcome: A versioned personal-AI identity is active, attributable, and available to authorized communication and interface surfaces.
Boundaries — includes: display name, short owner-authored description, presentation assets, relational framing, language, identity status, provenance, and revision history.
Boundaries — excludes: the owner's profile, personal-AI interaction preferences, execution policy, model/provider selection, runtime agent roles, independent long-term memory, and factual claims about the world.
Terms and concepts: personal AI identity is a behavior and presentation identity; it is not a separate store of owner information.

Actor: The owner or an authorized setup process presenting changes for owner control.
Command / intent: Establish or revise how the personal AI is named and presented.
Current state: An owner/Core context and either no identity, a provisional identity, or an existing versioned identity exist.
Policies / invariants: Owner authorship is preserved; defaults and generated suggestions are identified as provisional; revisions are traceable; identity fields do not grant execution authority or create a separate memory store.
Transition: Validate the proposed identity fields, record provenance and owner decision, create a new version, and activate or reject it.
Result: An active, provisional, rejected, or superseded personal-AI identity version.
Events / effects: May update authorized interface presentation and sender identity without changing owner knowledge or runtime permissions.
Unknowns: Cross-implementation identity portability and asset formats are not established.

Personal-AI identity and owner profile must remain distinct.
A generated name, image, or description remains provisional until accepted under the applicable owner-governance profile.
Identity changes must not silently change behavior preferences or execution authority.

Keep the initial identity small and editable rather than requiring complete characterization.

Whether one owner may maintain several concurrently active personal-AI identities requires a separate profile.
