# TrustCarry Protocol v0.3 — Research Claim 043

**Sealed record identifier.** `kaal:research-claim:persona-protocol-v0.3:043`

**Author-affirmed research claim.** Evidence commitments should be portable across competing projection profiles because a single canonical scoring rule gives its controller unrecorded allocative authority.

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

**Claim type.** failure

**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.**

> Evidence is shared; projections compete. A single canonical scoring rule reconstitutes precisely the centralized authority the architecture is meant to avoid, because the entity that controls the rule controls the allocation without ever appearing in the authority path.

**Source locator.** Line 178 of the sealed v0.3 source.
