1. Scope

The Trust-State Standard defines deterministic computational requirements for evaluating, binding, and verifying digital system integrity.

This standard establishes mandatory rules governing:

• Canonical serialization of evaluation inputs.
• Deterministic rule identity derivation.
• Replay-equivalent evaluation execution.
• Conformity artifact construction and integrity binding.
• Conformance validation and certification eligibility.

This standard applies to digital systems requiring reproducible, auditable, and independently verifiable evaluation outcomes.

This standard does not prescribe:

• Programming language.
• System architecture.
• Deployment model.
• Storage medium.
• Transport protocol.

Implementations SHALL satisfy all normative annex requirements in order to claim conformance.
