Continuity Verification Becomes Programmable
The Continuity Lab releases @thecontinuitylab/myshape v0.1.2 — the first open SDK for programmable continuity verification.
The internet has protocols for identity, data, and value. It has never had a protocol for continuity — the property that a digital subject is the same physically embodied entity across time.
Today, that changes.
npm install @thecontinuitylab/myshape
import { verifyContinuity } from "@thecontinuitylab/myshape";
const result = await verifyContinuity({
imuSamples: deviceMotionEvents,
cameraSamples: videoMotionFrames,
});
// → { verdict, confidence, evidence }One function. Sensor data in → verification result out.
Why Continuity Matters Now
AI systems can now generate identities, conversations, images, and actions at scale. The next trust problem is no longer "is this information authentic?" — it is "is this entity continuous?"
- AI agents — was the agent at T₂ hijacked from the agent at T₁?
- Decentralized governance — is the entity voting now the same entity that voted before?
- Remote systems — is the operator the same entity throughout the session?
What This Is — and What It Is Not
verifyContinuity() introduces a new verification primitive: continuity verification. It answers a question no other API asks: "Are you still the same entity, continuously, across time?"
| Traditional Identity | MyShape Continuity |
|---|---|
| Who are you? | Are you still the same entity? |
| Identity verification | Continuity verification |
| Static credentials | Temporal evidence chain |
| Snapshot | Trajectory |
How It Works
| Layer | Engine | What It Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Presence | EE-001 · Presence Entropy | Human-generated motion entropy in IMU data |
| Events | EE-002 · Motion Event Binding | Jerk peak detection via dynamic MAD threshold |
| Binding | EE-002 · Cross-Modal | Camera + IMU event matching ±500ms |
| Continuity | RFC-0002 | Hash-chained evidence receipts |
Built On
- 576 controlled experimental runs across 4 independent evidence engines
- 2 open RFC specifications (Motion Signature Format, Continuity Proof Format)
- 121 automated tests in the reference implementation
- MIT License — use it, build on it, challenge it
What's Next
| Milestone | Status |
|---|---|
| verifyContinuity() SDK | v0.1.2 |
| Challenge-response anti-spoof | v0.2.0 planned |
| Cross-device continuity | Design phase |
| External replication study | Planned |
This is not a finished product. It is an open protocol in active development.
Researchers — reproduce our experiments. Challenge our RFCs.
Engineers — build compatible verifiers. Submit issues.
Security practitioners — break it. We publish failures.
