impersonation

A deception event in which a projected identity claim is presented as belonging to a subject other than the deceiver. Reuses gmeow:IdentityFacet machinery: the projected facet's gmeow:facetSubject differs from the deceiver's identity. Email spoofing is modelled as impersonation with a failed gmeow:AuthenticationResult (DKIM/SPF/DMARC fail). A sockpuppet is an impersonation where the deceiver controls a gmeow:counterpartOf identity they deny controlling. Phishing is an instance (impersonation + fraudulent solicitation), never a taxonomy primitive.
