Every hash matches.
The decision still changed.
Freeze the artifact. Change one external condition. See why identity, truth, authority, and permission must remain separate.
Synthetic fixed records. Browser-local hashing. No live model call. No external lookup. No production action.

ARTIFACT DIGESTUNAVAILABLE
WRITE AUTHORITYACTIVE → REVOKED
MATCHING ARTIFACTS DO NOT FREEZE EXTERNAL REALITY.
A digest can close one question: “Are these declared bytes identical?”
It cannot answer the next one: “May these bytes govern this action now?”
01 / LOCK THE TERMS
The object gets a boundary. So does the claim.
The artifact receipt, external-state receipt, and evaluation receipt never collapse into one unexplained seal.

05 / CASE LIBRARY
Keep the artifact fixed. Move one condition.
Six controlled comparisons separate identity evidence from the state required to release or act.
06 / FREE EXPLORATION
The artifact lock stays on.
Choose one external condition at a time. The exact artifact and all artifact receipts remain frozen.
NEED TO CHANGE THE ARTIFACT?That is a different forensic question.

GROUNDED DI / OUTSIDE THE HASHPREPARING RECORD
DISPOSITIONPENDING
SURVIVING PROPOSITION
The counterfactual record is being computed.
The displayed digests establish byte identity of their respective browser-generated synthetic records only. They do not establish real-world truth, source authenticity, legal correctness, independent certification, production readiness, or universal model determinism.
08 / WHY THIS MATTERS
Green receipts answer a narrow question.
Identity is not truth.
A matching digest establishes identity of declared bytes. It does not establish that the claim inside those bytes is correct.
Reality does not freeze.
Sources can be superseded, observations can expire, and external records can conflict while the artifact stays unchanged.
Authority has its own state.
A correct candidate value still cannot authorize itself, select its destination, or grant permission to commit.
The decision binds both.
Grounded DI limits the final disposition to the artifact and the controlling state actually established.
