**Sealed record identifier.** `kaal:research-claim:persona-protocol-v0.3:061`

- 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.**

> That differentiation is provisional. A complete prior-art and standards review remains required before any strong novelty claim. The appropriate claim is constructive: Persona Protocol specifies one coherent separation of functions that adjacent standards can implement, transport, or reference, and it identifies one design choice in the adjacent literature that it regards as an error.
