There can only be one `RippleState` object per currency for any given pair of accounts. Since no account is privileged in the XRP Ledger, a `RippleState` object sorts their account addresses numerically, to ensure a canonical form. Whichever address is numerically lower when [decoded](accounts.html#address-encoding) is deemed the "low account" and the other is the "high account". The net balance of the trust line is stored from the low account's perspective.
The "issuer" for the balance in a trust line is whichever account has a negative balance. If a `RippleState` object shows a negative balance, the low account is the issuer. If the balance is positive, the high account is the issuer. Frequently, the issuer has its limit set to 0 and the other account has a positive limit, but this is not reliable because limits can change without affecting an existing balance.
