Definition
Unequal enforceability produced by unequal ability to delegate persistence (agents, intermediaries, automation).
Proxy privilege lets some parties bypass the futility threshold that others face alone.
The asymmetry becomes legible when each proxy holds a named authority grant with a visible grant state, so extending a proxy’s reach is an expansion decision rather than an unremarked advantage.
