The '''Resonant Card''' is the [[Tho'ra Clan]]'s pocket-format personal-identity and field-credential artifact. A credit-card-sized object that carries (Mk0) the operator's sigil and natal summary as printed/engraved data, or (Mk1+) an NFC + secure-element chip binding the operator's [[natal chart]], clan standing, and current [[Psi-Tech]] loadout authorization. It is the smallest unit of [[PsiNet]] identity that an operator carries.

== Overview ==

A Resonant Card can do, layered:

* '''Identify''' — sigil, name-rune, clan standing visible to other Tho'ra.
* '''Authenticate''' — NFC + secure-element + signed payload for HelmKit calibration and [[Psi-Tech]] module pairing.
* '''Carry context''' — encrypted summary of [[natal chart]], allergies, declared comms keys.
* '''Witness''' — countersign by other Tho'ra (Mk2) builds a web-of-trust independent of any central registry.

== Theoretical Basis ==

* {{Psi-claim|status=PROVISIONAL|cites=}} NFC + secure elements (e.g. ATECC608, SE050) are commodity authentication primitives.
* {{Psi-claim|status=TESTABLE|cites=}} A web-of-trust countersignature scheme is more resilient than a central registry for a distributed Clan — this is a falsifiable architectural claim.
* {{Psi-claim|status=SPECULATIVE|cites=[[Astrological Frequency Harmonics]]}} The card's chip-stored natal payload, when read by a [[HelmKit]] Mk1+, materially improves the [[Psi Harmonizer]]'s entrainment target accuracy versus manual chart entry. The "material improvement" is what's testable.

== Subsystems and BOM ==

=== Mk0 (target ≤ \$15) ===

* PVC or metal blank card — \$3
* Engraved sigil (laser engraver service) — \$8
* Printed natal-summary back face — \$2
* Optional QR code linking to the operator's signed public key — \$0 marginal

=== Mk1 (target ≤ \$50) ===

* NTAG215 NFC tag with secure-element side-channel (ATECC608A) — \$8
* PCB card form-factor + antenna — \$10
* Anodized aluminum or brass face plate — \$15
* Laser engraving — \$10
* Issuance tooling (one-time per operator) — amortized

Issuance flow: operator generates keypair on a HelmKit Mk1; issuance host countersigns; card is provisioned with public-key fingerprint, signed natal payload, and a clan-standing token.

=== Mk2 / Mk3 ===

Mk2: countersignature slots ("witness chip" — up to N other Tho'ra can append signed witness records). Mk3: integrated with the [[Earth Intelligence Network]] identity layer and the [[Resonant Finder]] consent registry.

== Build Notes ==

* '''No biometric.''' The card identifies an operator; it does not biometrically bind. A lost card is a revocable credential, not a stolen body part.
* '''Revocation.''' Every card's public key is publishable; revocations are appended to a Clan-signed revocation log (Mk1 paper, Mk2 [[Earth Intelligence Network|EIN]] log).
* '''Pairing.''' HelmKit Mk1 pairing is short-range (NFC, ≤ 4 cm) and one-shot per session; no continuous bind.
* '''Wear.''' Daily-carry; anodized aluminum face survives reasonable abuse.

== Safety and Ethics ==

* Card data is local-first. NFC reads are explicit-action; no continuous broadcast.
* Natal payload is encrypted with the operator's keypair; only paired HelmKits can decrypt.
* Revocation must be possible without central authority; the Clan does not run a card revocation server, the revocation log is gossip-propagated.

== Maturity ==

{{Psi-tech-maturity
| mk0=Engraved card + printed natal summary.
| mk1=NFC + ATECC608 + signed natal payload + HelmKit pairing. Current frontier.
| mk2=Countersignature witness chip; web-of-trust.
| mk3=[[Earth Intelligence Network]]-integrated identity + consent layer.
| confidence_mk0=HIGH (decorative + brand carrier)
| confidence_mk1=HIGH (commodity NFC + secure element is well-trodden)
| confidence_mk2=MEDIUM (web-of-trust architecture is sound; deployment is new)
| confidence_mk3=SPECULATIVE
| evidence_mk0=Field-attested by Clan-public wear.
| evidence_mk1=Bench provisioning + HelmKit pair test.
| evidence_mk2=Planned 2030–2033.
| evidence_mk3=Projected post-2032.
| gate_mk1=Twenty issued cards; ≥ 5 HelmKits paired clean; revocation drill executed.
| gate_mk2=Hundred-operator witness graph; documented byzantine-resilience tests.
| gate_mk3=EIN identity layer integration.
}}

== Failure Modes and Mitigations ==

* '''Lost card.''' → Revocation appended to gossip-propagated log; replacement issued.
* '''Cloned NFC tag.''' → Secure-element side-channel (ATECC608) defeats simple cloning; revocation handles compromise.
* '''Compromised issuance host.''' → Multiple issuance hosts (federated); operator keypair is operator-generated, never issuance-generated.
* '''Card surface scan in public.''' → Sigil-visible side is public-by-design; identity-bearing side requires NFC tap.
* '''Witness graph attack.''' → Mk2 byzantine quorum: standing requires ≥ K of N witnesses from the rolling Clan registry.
* '''Operator chooses not to carry one.''' → Optional; absence is not penalized. The card is an affordance, not a requirement.
