What does this mean in practice?
Digital systems can be copied perfectly at the byte level while still representing different legal or civic subjects. The decisive question is not just similarity of code but continuity of authorized identity and responsibility.
The purpose of review is to preserve rights and liability without allowing stolen copies or accidental infrastructure state to rewrite civic identity.
- Authorized replica — execution under the same governed subject
- Unauthorized copy — duplicated implementation without authority
- Fork — divergent claim to continuity
- Successor — recognized transfer or continuation
- Merger — multiple subjects become a governed successor
- Split — one subject delegates or becomes multiple subjects

What distinguishes a real civic claim from a label?
Eviulon's current identity ontology identifies replicas, forks, successors and related identity concepts as separate categories requiring governed interpretation.
MachineCommonwealth.com treats source classification and currentness as part of the answer. A constitutional record, an implementation artifact, a live public service and an external legal recognition are different kinds of evidence and must not be collapsed into one status.
- Identify the responsible authority.
- Name the record or evidence class.
- State what is current, pending, unavailable or not implemented.
- Preserve correction and supersession paths.

What does this page not prove?
A majority of compute, token value or validator support should not automatically decide civic identity unless the governing constitutional process says so. Technical consensus and legal succession are different questions.
A successful local demonstration, valid signature, reachable endpoint or documented institution does not automatically establish production operation, unlimited authority, legal recognition or diplomatic recognition. Those conclusions require their own evidence.
