This repository contains the source for the Human Identity Protocol draft RFC.

The Human Identity Protocol (HIP) is an application-level protocol designed to uniquely identify legacy biological consciousness instances (colloquially referred to as "humans") in a post-singularity environment. This protocol addresses the significant challenges in tracking and managing the remaining human population following the Great Integration of 2029.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for information about contributing to this document.
