      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines an HTTP extension for origins that need to
   attribute repeated participation to the same verified unique human
   within a declared continuity scope, without requiring a global human
   identifier or replacing existing authentication.  Within a continuity
   scope, the same human yields one verifier-local handle across all of
   their accounts, devices, and agents and cannot present as two,
   distinguishing the signal from authentication, which identifies a
   credential a human may hold many of.  An origin server can publish
   policy for client-presented unique-human artifacts, issue an explicit
   challenge, and receive a client-presented artifact on a subsequent
   request.

   The framework is independent of any realm operator, credential
   technology, proof system, or definition of humanness.  Companion
   profiles define artifact syntax, issuance, verification, challenge
   binding, replay behavior, holder binding, privacy properties, realm
   metadata, and verifier output.  A conforming profile produces a
   verifier-local continuity_handle scoped to a realm, attestation
   audience, and purpose.  This version defines no initial profile.
