     prf --> Delegations
 ```
 
-In the above diagram, Alice has some storage. This storage may exist in one location with a single source of truth, but to help build intuition this example is location independent: local versions and remote stored copies are eventually consistent, and there is no one "correct" copy. As such, we list the owner (Alice) directly on the resource.
-
-Alice delegates access to Bob. Bob then redelegates to Carol. Carol invokes the UCAN as part of a REST request to a compute service. To do this, she MUST both provide proof that she has access (the UCAN chain), and MUST delegate access to the invoking compute service. The invoking service MUST check that the root issuer (Alice) is in fact the owner (typically the creator) of the resource. This MAY be listed directly on the resource, as it is here. Once the UCAN chain and root ownership are validated, the storage service performs the write.

 ### 5.2.1 Recipient Validation
 
 An agent executing a capability MUST verify that the outermost `aud` field _matches its own DID._ The associated ability MUST NOT be performed if they do not match. Recipient validation is REQUIRED to prevent the misuse of UCANs in an unintended context.
