Term/Phrase

Independent Identity

Definition

An identity for which the subject has an independent will and a legal authority of self-representation.

Related to #34.```

## Relevant Communities
```The guardianship community would be interested.  I would point out that while guardianship is focused on how to assert authority over a dependent identity, the Dependent Identity approach focuses on a subject centric holistic approach to support quorum based decisions enforced by code rather than requiring external governance post hoc.
