# EntityBase

what every entity carries beyond the unit

[figure: EntityBase is a value at none scope. The drawing shows its fields and the objects that they point at.]

| property | value |
|---|---|
| kind | value |
| scope | none |
| key | carried by every entity |
| store | none |
| family | kernel |



## Fields


| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `state` | `one of unproved \| resolved` | yes |  |
| `resolver_version` | `text` | no | absent for a kind that is the same by construction |
| `evidence` | `[id]` | no | the identity decisions it was resolved under |



## Routes that use it
No route takes or returns EntityBase directly. The record holds it, and the objects that point at it reach it.
