Sign the facts you already hold
Sign identity, civil status, licenses, guardianship, and benefits under the authority the law already gives you.
Liir for government
Be the authority. Not the map of everyone.
Government already holds the facts that settle legal identity, civil status, licenses, and benefits. Liir lets an agency sign those facts straight to the person, who then carries them. The state stays the authority where the law says so, and stays out of everything else.

Issued: The authority travels with the credential. The person's vault, and everyone they know, stay outside it.
The boundary
Checking a fact is not handing over a life.
An agency can check that one person holds one active legal identity. It can do that without naming the person, opening their records, or answering who they know.
Return the narrow answer
Let a person prove one accepted fact without showing the whole government record behind it.
Shut down a stolen credential
Revoke a credential or replace it. The stolen one stops working. The person and their lawful relationships carry on.
Prove the person again
When the person's own recovery cards are gone, check them again from your own records and authorize a fresh start.

No active binding exists.
An accepted authority may verify the human and light one authoritative identity binding.

A way to look up who knows whoDoes not exist
Boundary: The state prevents duplicate active lit hearts. It is not a directory of people.
One active lit heart
One person, one legal identity, with no list of everyone.
A person may hold many private Liirs, and those hearts stay dark. Only one Liir can carry a lit heart, the one tied to legal identity.
The check keeps the least it can: unused, active, or replaced. It holds no name and no government number, so it cannot answer “Does this named person have a Liir?”
Recovery of last resort
The state is the last check, not the keeper.
Ordinary recovery stays private: any two of a person's three recovery cards rebuild their authority. Government steps in only when the cards are gone and nothing left can prove who the person is.
The agency checks the person again against its own records, cancels the lost identity, and authorizes a fresh one. It never receives the vault key, never reads private relationships, and cannot bring back data that only lived on a lost device.

Public service delivery
Reach the person through a relationship they control.
An agency can send a notice, ask for a document, take an application, or pay a benefit through its own private path to the person. There is no shared inbox, and no list of people passed between agencies.

GUARDIANSHIP: The child owns their Liir, their vault, their relationships, and their identity. A guardian gets only the narrow custody the legal record allows, for only as long as it lasts.
What government does not become
Public authority stays in its lane.
Liir lets authority travel with the person and leaves private life private.
No central copy of the person
Government signs and checks its own facts. Everything else the person carries stays theirs.
No map of private relationships
Each agency knows its own lawful relationship and no more. Neither Liir nor the state gets the whole picture.
No control over ordinary actions
Legal identity does not put government inside every sign-in, payment, message, or proof.
Revoking a credential does not erase a person
A stolen credential can be canceled and replaced. The person remains.
Start with one public function
Put authority in the person's hands.
Pick one credential, one service, or one recovery path. We will map the legal authority, who holds what, what gets shown, how it is revoked, and where the audit stops. What is built today is a working demo and a written spec, not a product on a shelf.
