   Title:   Identity Pronouns: A Reference-Axis Extension to ~handle Identity Systems
   Author:  Blake Morrison

Abstract:

   This document defines an identity pronoun grammar as a reference axis
   orthogonal to the ~handle identity tier taxonomy defined in [MCPDNS]
   and [IDCOMMITS].  A pronoun is a session-scoped reference that
   resolves client-side to a concrete handle using local session state
   before any cryptographic, DNS, or federation operation.  The entity-
   class taxonomy (Sovereign, Bot, Instrument) is unchanged; this
   specification introduces Absolute vs Pronoun as an orthogonal axis.
   A pronoun MUST NOT appear in a capability token, in a DNS record, in
   an Accord signature, or in any inter-organisational protocol payload.
   The reference implementation defines a single Wave-1 pronoun, ~org,
   that resolves to the concrete handle of the organisation bound to the
   caller's current session.  An appendix defines a relative-path
   pronoun grammar (e.g. ~./architect, ~../weaver) as a non-normative
   design surface for future work.  The mechanism is provider-neutral,
   introduces no new cryptographic primitive, and imposes zero new load
   on DNS, capability-token issuers, or federated resolvers.
