Gravit Epistemic Verification Protocol (GEVP)

Abstract

GEVP defines minimal protocol for epistemic convergence. Renamed from VCP to avoid collision with draft-kamimura-scitt-vcp. Invariant C_manip > C_val*2.0 as engineering heuristic. Theta 0.73 RECOMMENDED pinned 7755f53. Architecture stable per https://github.com/GravitOpenNetwork/gravit-canon.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 6 February 2027.

Gravit open network for verifiable knowledge transformations. Stable. Future is implementations.

GEVP defines ESM RAW->VALIDATED->VERIFIED->COMMITTED, verification types, persistence MAY Ledger IPFS GSS DB Archive, bindings separate.

2. Conventions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Invariant C_manip > C_val*2.0 measurement.

3. Epistemic State Machine

4. Protocol Data Types

Artifact id hash SHA3-256 claim provenance signatures optional. Record artifact-id verifier-id theta 0.73 result timestamp. Convergence h>0.7 f<0.3.

5. Persistence
