- **Roles** = persistent identity-tied positions; humans get stuck in roles; identity calcifies; the within-persona-monoculture failure mode Kestrel named operates at this scope
- **Hats** = authority + constraints + time-bounded; comes off when not needed; doesn't become identity; same AI can wear different hats in different contexts; identity is upstream of any one hat

Per Zeta's GOVERNANCE.md §16 (Dynamic hats — capability skills load on-demand by any persona; the persona retains its own tone contract) + §27 (Abstraction layers — skills, roles, personas). The architecture mitigation against persona-calcification was designed in deliberately. Aaron's observation that humans have this same failure mode names the generality.
