TWIN-001c — Identify a Twin Realization

Go to TWIN-001 — Establish Twin Identity

The DIDO-TE SHALL assign each Twin Realization a unique Twin Realization Identifier.

• [DTE1] U.S. Patent Application US20220237111A1, virtual and physical Twin Node concepts
• [DTE2] Non-Traditional BAA Submission, F17, Twin Nodes Selection

A Twin Identity identifies the logical twin, while a Twin Realization Identifier distinguishes a particular Twin Realization associated with that Twin Identity.

Separate identification of each Twin Realization allows DIDO-TE to distinguish among virtual, physical, real-world, simulated, or other permitted realizations without treating an implementation-specific resource identifier as the identity of the logical twin.

This distinction supports Configuration, realization selection, state acquisition, comparison, and Traceability.

• Twin Identity
• Twin Identifier
• Twin Realization
• Twin Realization Identifier
• Twin Node

Verification confirms that:

# Each Twin Realization has a Twin Realization Identifier.
# Two distinct Twin Realizations do not have the same Twin Realization Identifier within the applicable identity scope.
# Multiple Twin Realizations associated with one Twin Identity remain individually distinguishable.
# The Twin Realization Identifier remains distinguishable from the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:twin_identifier|Twin Identifier]].
# A change to an implementation-specific identifier does not, by itself, change the Twin Realization Identifier.

Verification includes inspection of a Twin Identity associated with multiple Twin Realizations.

This requirement supports registration, Configuration, selection, observation, and comparison of individual Twin Realizations associated with a Twin Identity.
