• term: "Asset Identity" definition: "A persistent digital record tracking the spatial boundaries, chronological title history, and current compliance score of a physical asset."
• term: "Trust Graph" definition: "A unified, relational validation lattice linking spatial, registry, and inspection deeds."
• term: "Evidence" definition: "Validated inspections, deeds, and logs captured through authenticated connector endpoints."

Physical assets cannot be verified in isolation. To secure physical properties, infrastructures, or plants, they must be represented by a persistent, queryable Asset Identity. The @vecoris/identity-engine package manages this identity mapping layer.

1. Constructing the Spatial Coordinates Polygon

A physical asset is defined primarily by its geographical footprint. The identity engine registers spatial parameters as coordinates and polygon sets:

• GIS Mapping: Using latitude/longitude coordinates to trace boundary vectors.
• Encroachment Detection: Run-time spatial checks evaluate if an asset's boundary overlaps with neighboring properties or public paths. Mismatches trigger automatic compliance alerts.

2. Chronological Title Historical Records

An asset's identity includes its complete historical chain of custody:

• Deed Registry: Normalizing chronological deed documents, purchase agreements, and tax files.
• Lineage Tracking: Linking subdivision relationships (such as parent plots dividing into smaller residential or commercial parcels) to preserve inheritance audits.

By binding geographical vectors and title lineage together, the platform guarantees that the physical and legal dimensions of an asset are verified as a single cohesive unit.
