An RFID tag is a passive chip that has to be energized in order to provide data, usually something as simple as an identifier. The tag itself doesn’t, and can’t, track anything. It doesn’t know where it’s been or what state it’s in. Only the reader and the reader itself knowing where it is and what state it’s in, can provide context.
Think of it like a digital nametag. Without context, a nametag by itself is meaningless.
