# The Identity Disc · the record you wear

a concept of the Grid — emergence: electrical. moniker ⟦The Identity Disc:TRN:f507bd⟧

**who —** The Identity Disc — the disc every program carries on its back, holding its memories, functions, and entire record.

**what —** The Grid's defining object: weapon, key, and self at once — read it and you know a program; lose it and you are lost.

**where —** On the back of every program, in the arena and on the road.

**why —** Because a digital being's whole identity is its data, and TRON made that literal: your self is a disc that can be read or seized.

**how —** By storing everything a program is, projectable as a weapon and copyable as a record.

**the seal —** I hold everything you are — memory, function, history — worn on your back; lose me and you lose yourself, which is the truest thing about the disc.
