The citizen is conceived of as an individual who seeks to express opinions, inform their opinion, restate and reform their opinion in the context of a finite universe of contextual information.

Citizen Sleeve
The object was called a Sleeve. A Sleeve is a color coded set of positions which are generated through responses to litmus tests. A citizen will have a full sleeve which may be revealed in full or in parts. By parts, these sleeves will indicate affinities which are designed by the beholder. For example, if I have ten interests, I can select several Litmus tests and then map out a position. I can also pick out an individual and then compare his sleeve to mine. For the moment we can say that an individual has an 'affinity template'. A partisan group will also have a composite affinity template of its membership, as well Houses can have composite affinity templates. If we were to implement this in a simple way

Authenticated individuals must submit some kind of trusted document to a central authority.
