HI-1 Validation Report

Status: completed Validation date: 2026-07-15

Schema validation

The following eight candidate Draft 2020-12 schemas were checked:

• portable-identifier.schema.json
• correction-record.schema.json
• correction-propagation-record.schema.json
• authority-record.schema.json
• protected-omission-proof.schema.json
• selective-witness-view.schema.json
• participant-export-manifest.schema.json
• derived-assertion.schema.json

Result:

schemas checked: 8
schema errors: 0

Positive demonstrations

All five required demonstrations passed:

1. full correction propagation;
2. partial propagation with explicit external gap;
3. expired authority rejected for a new action;
4. protected omission without source disclosure;
5. inference status preserved through repeated reuse.

Result:

positive demonstrations passed: 5
positive failures: 0

Negative conformance cases

All ten prohibited patterns were detected:

1. inference laundering;
2. expired-authority reuse;
3. silent history rewrite;
4. false propagation completeness;
5. protected-omission collapse;
6. omission represented as absence;
7. provenance represented as truth;
8. model-only witness custody;
9. contest without responsible authority;
10. correction without descendant review.

Result:

negative cases detected: 10
undetected negative cases: 0

Independent export

The demonstration participant export passed schema validation.

Its checksums were independently recalculated.

Result:

manifest validation: PASS
checksum files verified: 13
checksum failures: 0
independent_of_originating_model: true
protected source content included: false
protected omission marked: true

Public-primer consistency review

H.1 was checked against I.1 for the following claims:

• correction does not silently rewrite history;
• protected omission is represented rather than treated as absence;
• provenance is not truth or legitimacy;
• source and inference remain separate;
• expired authority remains visible and ineligible;
• correction may remain incomplete in external systems;
• model role does not create action authority;
• witness does not require total surveillance.

Result:

technical/public contradiction found: 0

Scope of validation

This report establishes structural and internal semantic validation only.

It does not establish:

• production security;
• cryptographic proof;
• legal compliance;
• clinical safety;
• scientific validity;
• completeness of descendant discovery;
• interoperability with an external PROV implementation;
• public-reader comprehension outside the project team.

Conditions before production use

• replace provisional identifier and namespace choices;
• define authenticated correction authority;
• implement secure selective disclosure;
• test descendant discovery against real graph stores;
• test external correction notification;
• conduct privacy threat modeling;
• conduct independent reader testing of H.1;
• perform legal and domain review where consequential actions are involved.
