The Continuity Paradigm: Redefining Identity in the AI Era

Everyone is asking the wrong question about AI and identity.

The industry races to build liveness detection, anti-spoofing, and behavioral biometrics, assuming AI fakes identity signals so we need better ones.

That misses a deeper truth.

The problem isn't weaker signals; "who are you?" is the wrong question. Identity isn't a stateβ€”it's a continuous claim. Every post-authentication second risks a broken claim with no checking protocol.

Current web standards (OAuth, TLS, DIDs, VCs) never answer: "Is the same entity still here?"

The Continuity Lab published an open protocol (CPS-0001) for engine-independent continuity receipts proving continuous presence over time.

Not who you are. That you stayed.
