Posthumous identity is the persistence, transformation, or reconstruction of a person's identity after biological death. Digital records, archived communications, biometric traces, and generated representations can continue to influence social, legal, and computational relationships.
Posthumous identity may emerge through digital records, archived communications, biometric remnants, simulations, or representations generated by others or by systems.
In such cases, identity is no longer anchored to agency or consent, yet continues to operate within social, legal, or computational contexts.
Decisions about custody, representation, and reuse can therefore shape memory, legal claims, and the authority to act in the name of someone who can no longer respond.
This site does not advocate preservation, deletion, or replication of identity.
Its purpose is to mark a conceptual space where technology, memory, representation, and authority intersect beyond the lifespan of the individual.
This page is intentionally minimal.
It exists to ensure the term Posthumous Identity has a stable place to stand.
「身後身分」是個人在生物死亡後，身分持續存在、轉化或被重新建構的狀態。數位紀錄、封存通訊、生物特徵痕跡與生成的表徵，仍可能影響社會、法律及運算系統中的關係。
身後身分可能透過數位紀錄、存檔通訊、生物特徵殘留物、模擬， 或由他人／系統所產生的表徵而浮現。
在這種情況下，身分不再依賴行動力或同意， 卻仍持續在社會、法律或計算脈絡中運作。
因此，關於保管、再現與再利用的決定，可能形塑記憶、法律主張，以及誰能以無法再回應之人的名義行動。
本站不主張保留、刪除或複製身分。
它的目的，是標示一個概念空間：當科技、記憶、代表性與權威 開始超越個人壽命時，它們如何交會、如何運作。
本頁刻意維持極簡。
它存在，是為了確保 身後身分（Posthumous Identity） 這個詞能有一個穩定的立足點。
