Trust Principles
Defines the foundational principles that govern trustworthy certification and verification.

Trust Standard
The Trust Standard defines shared trust-related terminology, expectations, communication boundaries, and preservation principles across the Satoshium Suite.
It does not create generalized Suite-wide trust authority, a universal trust status, or a canonical Suite-wide Trust Signal object. Trust-related authority remains bounded by the institution and canonical object that actually produces the governed conclusion.
Trust-Related Signals
Defines communication expectations for trust-related indicators without creating a canonical Suite-wide Trust Signal object.
Trust Signal → generic/descriptive terminology unless explicitly governed.
Trust Signal ≠ Trust Statement.
Trust Signal ≠ Discovery Signal.
Bounded
Trust Signal ≠ Trust Statement.
Trust Signal ≠ Discovery Signal.
Trust Evaluation
Defines shared expectations for bounded trust-related evaluation while preserving institution-specific authority. Within Attestor, Rule-Constrained Evaluation contributes to an Attestor-owned Trust Statement.
BoundedTrust Preservation
Defines how trust is maintained through transparency, versioning, and continuous verification.
EstablishedStandard Role
The Trust Standard provides shared terminology and expectations for trust-related communication and preservation while preserving the independent authority of Suite institutions.
Attestor → Attestation + Trust Statement (through governed Rule-Constrained Evaluation).
Beacon → Discovery Signal.
Trust Standard ≠ universal trust authority.
Trust Statement ≠ universal truth.
Reference does not transfer authority.
Beacon → Discovery Signal.
Trust Standard ≠ universal trust authority.
Trust Statement ≠ universal truth.
Reference does not transfer authority.
Authority Boundary
The Trust Standard may define shared expectations, but it does not create a universal trust authority, a generic Suite-wide trusted status, or a new canonical trust object.
No universal Suite-wide trust authority.
No canonical Suite-wide Trust Signal object.
Attestor authority remains bounded to Attestor-owned Attestations and Trust Statements.
Beacon authority remains bounded to Beacon-owned Discovery Signals.
Certification, integrity, registration, discovery, and reference do not become trust authority merely through interaction.
No canonical Suite-wide Trust Signal object.
Attestor authority remains bounded to Attestor-owned Attestations and Trust Statements.
Beacon authority remains bounded to Beacon-owned Discovery Signals.
Certification, integrity, registration, discovery, and reference do not become trust authority merely through interaction.
