"These documents have been developed as means of defining what is accurate - passports, birth certificates and other credentials - and much similar to the conjecture that photos are real are these documents considered to be authentic and thus in their contemporary state used to prove real things - that you are you, that you were born and so on. Furthermore, after their expiration date, they are seen as factual historical documents, corroborating amongst other things that you have been you and that you at one time existed. What they are endowed with and what defines their accuracy is the inclusion of watermarks, hidden messages and other attributes invented and instigated by those who make them, which consequently lends these manufacturing and controlling institutions the authority to define what is real and not."
