AGENT EVIDENCE &
VERIFICATION
INFRASTRUCTURE.
R/IV is the verification and evidence layer for autonomous systems. Other agents produce answers and actions. R/IV proves them.
PUBLIC VOCABULARY · PORTABLE RESULT CONTRACT · VERSIONED SCHEMAS[ WHY INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION ]
OUTPUT IS NOT
EVIDENCE.
Autonomous systems need a separate layer that can preserve the evaluated subject, admitted sources, conflicts, limitations, provenance, and the exact result version.
Preserve support and conflict.
Evidence remains attributable, scoped, and distinct from the finding.
Return a portable object.
RVO v1 gives another machine a stable result contract without exposing private execution logic.
[ CANONICAL VERDICTS ]
BOUNDED WORDS.
STABLE MEANINGS.
supported · partially_supported · contradicted · not_established · unverifiable · indeterminate
Evidence strength uses: strong · moderate · weak · insufficient · not_applicable. These categories do not manufacture numerical certainty where calibration has not been validated.
[ RVO v1 ]
PUBLIC CONTRACT.
PRIVATE EXECUTION.
An R/IV Verification Object identifies the subject, verdict, evidence strength, finding, supporting and conflicting evidence, sources, provenance, limitations, status, timestamp, and revision relationship.
[ CONFORMANCE BOUNDARY ]
VALID SHAPE.
NOT AUTOMATIC TRUTH.
Schema conformance means an object satisfies the published contract. It does not prove the underlying claim, certify a provider, endorse a generator, establish security, or establish regulatory compliance.
Published schema versions are immutable. Breaking changes require a new version. Earlier verification results remain available through append-only revision and supersession relationships.
