Whitepaper proposes constitutional shift to self-sovereign identity, emphasizing rights to personal data ownership.
I argue that the contemporary digital identity crisis is not solved with more tactical privacy but with a constitutional paradigm shift: moving from fragmented identity and corporate ownership of data to self-sovereign identity (SSI) backed by public infrastructure. This whitepaper articulates my diagnosis, proposes the AI Peoples Pass framework as Latin American regional identity, distinguishes public biometrics from individual self-sovereignty, evaluates agentic-native childhood and digital death, and delivers guidelines for new digital constitutions under the Qualitas Doctrine. My thesis: personal data in the Synthetic Era must be treated as inalienable heritage, not as extractable oil.
