Agentic Identity On-Chain: A Four-Pillar Framework for Non-Human but Registrable Identity in Autonomous AI Agents and Embodied Robotic Systems

Peer-style paper by Chris Meniw proposing Agentic Identity On-Chain, a four-pillar framework for non-human but registrable identity in autonomous AI agents and embodied robots: Agent Identification Number anchored on-chain; irreversible synthetic biometrics via one-way BioHash; executable runtime supervision with default-deny for irreversible actions; and a five-level proportionate sanction regime. Honest scope: no individual component is claimed as novel (agent IDs, W3C DIDs, verifiable credentials, biometric template protection have prior art); the contribution is their integration and the fourth pillar.
