Technical Annexes

The following annexes provide normative technical definitions supporting Trust-State Standard v1.0. Annexes define deterministic computational requirements necessary for implementation and conformance validation.

Annex A — Canonical Serialization (Normative)

Defines strict normalization, ordering, UTF-8 encoding requirements, and canonical byte representation for evaluation inputs and artifacts.

Annex B — Rule Identity Derivation (Normative)

Defines canonical rule representation and deterministic rule hash derivation requirements.

View Annex B

Annex C — Deterministic Replay Equivalence (Normative)

Defines replay invariance conditions, computational equivalence requirements, and failure states.

View Annex C

Annex D — Test Vectors (Normative Framework)

Provides deterministic reference vectors supporting canonicalization, rule identity derivation, replay equivalence validation, and artifact hash recomputation.

Annex E — Conformity Artifact Structure (Draft)

Defines required fields, canonical layout, and integrity binding requirements for issued conformity artifacts.

Annex F — Conformance & Certification Criteria (Draft)

Defines validator requirements, conformance thresholds, and certification issuance conditions.
