Authority and evidence
The system preserves capability reach while making authority, evidence, and acceptance explicit.
Four separate questions
- Is the operation permitted?
- How reliable is this participant for this task?
- What does the execution path actually assure?
- Who accepts this exact result for which purpose?
Owner authority
Restrictive profiles and explicitly unrestricted local-owner profiles are both expressible. Local authority does not silently transfer to peers, projects, verifiers, or release systems.
What evidence cannot prove
A signature authenticates a signer; hosting does not prove trusted execution; a model response is a proposal; provider execution cannot be cryptographically proven without provider receipts or a trustworthy attested path.
