Why It Remains

A name concentrates recognition into a short address. Institutions invest in trademarks, archives and storytelling that keep the address usable after the body ends.

How It Changes

Once operational, the name refers less to a complete biography and more to a portfolio of products, codes and expectations that can be updated without the founder.
