**Sealed record identifier.** `kaal:research-claim:persona-protocol-v0.3:025`

**Status.** Public research record. Not yet eligible for the published-source scholarly claim layer.

**Holds when.**

- Persona Protocol v0.3 as proposed; not an adopted standard

**Protocol.** TrustCarry Protocol v0.3, historically titled and aliased as Persona Protocol v0.3.

**Supporting passage from Persona Protocol v0.3.**

> The scope concession. The path from engineered consequence to reliable agent conduct "is not guaranteed," and depends on correct institutional design at each phase, including appropriate slashing parameters, robust Sybil resistance, calibrated reputation portability, and maintained human oversight (Kaal 2026b, claim 6244278-039). Persona Protocol supplies the portability and continuity layer. It supplies none of the other three.
