For Protosocial I was musing on a role for the Profile in modeling identity. Protosocial emphasizes the actor-based nature of #ActivityPub and folllows the actor model in general.

Though these are just showerthoughts atm, a #SX solution on the wire is represented with an Application actor, which can be introspected to find the #SocialWeb services it offers, and these are accessible as service actors.

The Protosocial fediverse is an actor-based service-oriented distributed messaging architecture, combined with a linked data social and knowledge graph distributed data store.

A person should be able to have as many identities as they wish, some anonymous, some pseudonymous, some fully verified. These are all Person actors.

All actors have an ActorID, but they only identify the actor objects themself. The Profile would be a verifiable identity statement. A contextual visitor's card to pass along.
