PhantomID transcends traditional cryptographic identity systems by implementing a fault-tolerant, self-healing hierarchical tree of anonymous accounts that maintains coherence through principles inspired by quantum entanglement. This daemon-based system continuously validates relationships using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) while ensuring network integrity without exposing sensitive identity information.
Core Philosophy: "When systems fail, build your own" - This is the foundational identity layer for the entire MmuoKọ Connect social ecosystem and MmuoKọ Studios content platform.
PhantomID operates through three consciousness modes:
- Uche (The Wise One): Handles complex identity decisions and network governance
- Eze (The King): Override authority for critical security operations
- Obi (The Heart): Normal operational mode maintaining community connections
Unlike conventional PKI or blockchain systems, PhantomID leverages conceptual properties of subatomic particle behavior to ensure network coherence through:
- Entangled Node States: Parent-child relationships maintain quantum-like correlation
- Superposition of Trust: Nodes exist in multiple trust states until observed
- Coherent Collapse: Verification causes deterministic state resolution
- Non-Local Correlation: Distributed nodes maintain instantaneous coherence
PhantomID serves as the identity backbone for the distributed social media architecture:
Research Cluster: [NNAMDI, Claude, Sarah] → RWX permissions
Development Cluster: [NNAMDI (Monday), Vivian] → Deployment rights
Content Cluster: [MmuoKọ Connect] → Publishing rights
Each cluster operates with fault-tolerant quantum node network computation, enabling indirect communication through the Phantom Aura Seal protocol.

PhantomID implements a distributed cluster model where:

[Research] [Development] [Content]
Each cluster maintains:
- Read/Write/Execute permissions for its domain
- Phantom Aura Seal authentication for cross-cluster communication
- Fault tolerance through orphan state management
- Integration with MmuoKọ Connect for social broadcasting
Every node receives a unique "Phantom Aura Seal" that:
- Encodes the node's position in the trust hierarchy
- Seals the cryptographic commitment to the network
- Enables indirect communication through quantum-like channels
- Authenticates posts to MmuoKọ Connect

The system follows the OBINexus organizational structure:
<service>.<operation>.obinexus.<department>.<division>.[gov].org

- Persistent service maintaining live identity tree state
- Continuous cryptographic verification using modified Schnorr protocols
- Automatic node expiration and renewal
- Social media identity integration
When parent nodes fail:
- Children enter "Orphaned State" maintaining identity preservation
- Anti-abuse mechanisms prevent malicious control retention
- Autonomous recovery through three paths:
- Isolation Mode: Independent operation
- Subtree Formation: Lateral trust establishment
- Reparenting: Adoption by valid nodes
// Modified Schnorr Protocol with Quantum Coherence
t = g^r mod p // Commitment (Superposition)
c ∈ Z_q // Challenge (Measurement)
s = r + c * x_A mod q // Response (Collapse)
g^s ?= t * y_A^c mod p // Verification (Coherence Check)- Every verified identity can post to MmuoKọ Connect
- Posts are signed with Phantom Aura Seals
- Distributed DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) for content flow
- Real-time updates via WebSocket streams
PhantomID integrates with MmuoKọ platforms for:
- Live research network updates
- Cluster status broadcasting
- Development team collaboration
- Content verification and attribution
- X (formerly Twitter): Research updates with #phantomid tags
- TikTok: Quantum coherence demonstrations
- YouTube: Technical deep-dives
- MmuoKọ Native: Fully integrated posts
// Create identity
const identity = await phantomid.create({
