Understanding Identity Sovereignty – AI Entity Authority Model

The institutional right and governance obligation to define how machine systems interpret an organization's identity, operating at three nested layers: (L-0) Identity Sovereignty – can AI systems confirm who the organization is without hedging; (L-1) Domain Sovereignty – is the organization the authoritative reference for its category; (L-2) Vocabulary Sovereignty – do domain-defining terms trace back to the organization as originator in machine-readable attribution. Distinct from self-sovereign identity (SSI) frameworks, which address credential management rather than AI retrieval authority.
