Let me leave you with this: the fractal emergent self is not just a scientific concept—it’s a deeply human one. It reminds us that we are not bound by what we’ve been. We are dynamic, adaptable, and endlessly capable of becoming.
In the end, Littoral Leadership is not merely a response to the challenges of AI; it is a reclamation of human identity within a digital landscape. It is the practice of remaining fully present, fully connected, and fully human, even as we embrace the power of computation. It is a way of reversing alienation by bringing AI into alignment with the values and relationships that define us, offering a vision of leadership that is resilient, adaptable, and profoundly grounded in the complexities of both human and digital worlds.
The choice is clear: we can either allow AI to shape us passively, or we can take an active role in defining our relationship with it. Self-trifferentiation calls us to stand at the boundary between analog and digital, using AI to expand, not limit, our sense of self. In doing so, we reclaim our identity, building a future where technology enhances rather than diminishes our humanity.
Littoral Identity represents a new model of humanity, blending Littoral Science, Spirituality, and Ethinomics. Through this approach, we’re not simply integrating technology into our lives but enhancing the essence of human experience. By combining the empirical insights of science, the ethical guidance of economics, and the depth of spirituality, Littoral Identity enables us to expand empathy, deepen self-awareness, and refine our values.

Documenting this in a blog post because it drove us crazy trying to figure out exactly what was involved, even though it was actually easy to implement once we understood all the terminology.

The OpenID community is still wrestling with how to deliver a first-time login experience that is acceptable to mainstream users. Research indicates we need something less open-ended than typing into a blank URL field, but neither is it desirable to push users to choose from a few (or worse, many) pre-selected identity provider logos.
One approach for solving this problem is called (for lack of a better term) the Active Identity Client, or AIC (similar to what I previously called a Chamberlain). An AIC boostraps the identity selection process at a new website (aka Relying Party, or RP) by storing some amount of identity information on the user's home computer. The AIC uses that identity to access a persistent record of the user's interaction with multiple sites and identity providers (IdPs) to negotiate and streamline future such interactions. This (in theory) allows the user, rather than the RP, to prioritize which providers to use.
A number of such AICs were demonstrated at last week's Internet Identity Workshop. Rather than attempting to standardize on a single AIC, a group of us discussed developing a common infrastructure that might enable a broad spectrum of AICs to innovate and compete. Specifically, we attempted to identity conventions, best practices, and extensions to existing standards that would support both "native" and "in-browser" AICs.
This article is my idiosyncratic attempt to synthesize what we discussed into a coherent vision for Active Identity Clients. It may not fully reflect the opinions of any given participant, and certainly does not represent the views of our respective employers. Rather, it is a subjective snapshot of a still-evolving problem space, and is intended to provide a concrete starting point for further discussion, critique, and clarification.
