What does this topic answer?
Capture, training, display, replication, modification, mixing, and instantiation are separate permission surfaces, and technical-asset ownership does not become ownership of a new person.
Story relation: The story directly uses the Galatea protocol and related embodiment technology, providing a narrative anchor for this standard. Algorithmic Love and the Centenarian Skin

If you only need the worldbuilding context, you can stop here. The sections below contain formal definitions, fields, governance, and implementation details for deeper reference.
Reader Principle: Technical Conformance ≠ Permission to Use
A Galatea reference can be technically conformant without granting anyone unrestricted permission to use it. Faces, bodies, identifiable appearance, and person-linked assets can involve provenance, consent, purpose, permitted carriers, modification / mixing, revocation, and time or territory limits; RGT preserves that rights and provenance context.
| Reader question | Information to preserve |
|---|---|
| Where did the data come from? | Provenance and version lineage |
| Who may consent? | Consent of the data subject or lawful rights holder |
| What uses are allowed? | Purpose and permitted carriers |
| May it be modified or mixed? | Modification and mixing rights |
| Can permission be revoked? | Revocation conditions |
| When and where do limits apply? | Time and territory constraints |
Permission Surfaces Are Separate Judgments
Consent to scanning or storage does not authorize every other use. The following uses are separate permission surfaces in Galatea rights interpretation; permission for one cannot automatically imply permission for another.
| Use | Rights question |
|---|---|
| Capture | May appearance data be acquired? |
| Reference creation | May an exchangeable reference be created? |
| Model training | May it be used for training? |
| Public display | May it be publicly displayed? |
| Embodiment replication | May the embodiment appearance be replicated? |
| Modification | May the reference be modified? |
| Mixing | May it be mixed with other references? |
| Physical instantiation | May a physical carrier be instantiated? |
Impersonation Risk and Due Process
Consent to scanning or storage does not imply consent to create a digital or physical agent capable of impersonating the source person. Person-linked references preserve provenance and version history and support contestable correction or impersonation review.
Genesis Boundary
If a reference is used to instantiate a new intelligence reasonably capable of first-person experience, ownership of the technical asset does not become ownership of the new person. The Duty to Protect Developing Persons and Duty of Creator Care apply. Matching embodiment also does not automatically establish the source person's legal identity or subjective continuity.
