Inferable Methods for Identifying Objects

The problem of object identification, considered in various contexts, has long attracted the attention of researchers. The paper proposes the use of an approach to the solution based on homotopy theory. It is assumed that various identification methods can be assembled into a single object within a suitable category, representing a set of possible methods. Thus, consideration of identification methods as objects of the first order is provided. The methods of defining functions on identification methods that provide the introduction of an algebraic structure on the corresponding objects are considered. To define functions, the recursion technique is used, which allows you to build hierarchies of functions based on reflexively defined relationships. The proposed technique can serve as a basis for building object identification systems, including in the context of security support tasks in a Web environment.
