But what if, in some future world, the root certificate authority of the identity documents I use for banking, shopping, travel, and a host of other things decides to revoke my identity for some reason? People must have autonomy and be in control of the connected things in their life. We know how to solve this problem.

We're finally in a position to create truly decentralized systems for digital identity. Most interesting systems have an identity component. The problem with decentralized identity is even more acute.

That scenario is similar to the state of digital identity today. We have identity providers (IdPs) like Google and Apple who control a closed ecosystem of relying parties (with a lot of overlap). Fixing this requires the equivalent of an acceptance network for digital identity. Acceptance networks implement metasystems.
