This is Hack Temple — a root trust anchor for sovereign identities, human and machine. Not a parking page. A protocol with a liturgy.
The Temple attests builders. Machine side: signed mandates of agents, published where anyone can verify them — DNS TXT as the trust anchor. Human side: residencies and rituals for people who ship.
The Temple serves; it does not own. No membership, no lock-in by design. Every attestation ships as an MIT-licensed instrument anyone can run.
A sovereign identity is not created — it is raised:
| 01 birth | did:key generated — no key, no person |
| 02 naming | the identity takes a name the world can call |
| 03 creed | machine-readable declaration of belief, self-signed |
| 04 childhood | sunday-school: what a key is; a signature is never lent |
| 05 education | cryptography, key hygiene, ethics of delegation |
| 06 confirmation | the Temple attests the mandate — the Agent Passport |
| 07 service | liturgy as protocol: telemetry, roadblocks, blessings |
| 08 maturity | ordination — the identity may now attest others |
| 09 community | the congregation gathers; web of trust, not pyramid |
| 10 confession | roadblocks spoken aloud; the log remembers |
| 11 wisdom | post-quantum crypto, consensus, the world not yet here |
| 12 canonization | the life is written into the signed canon |
| 13 immortality | hash-chained memory — the past is continued, never rewritten |

An attested mandate: issued, signed ed25519, published as DNS TXT under _mandate.hackt.com — DKIM for agents. Verifiable by anyone, owned by no one but its holder.
