Doctrine

Purpose

Declaration of the system's governing technical principles and design constraints.

Core Invariants

• Non-Retroactivity. System state transitions are designed to be append-only. The system does not support retroactive modification of sealed records.
• Tamper Evidence. Sealed records are designed to be tamper-evident through cryptographic hashing. Modifications to a sealed record are intended to be detectable through hash comparison.
• Segregation of Procedural Truth from Factual Truth. The system records procedural state. It does not assess the truth or accuracy of underlying facts. Procedural validity does not imply factual correctness.

Jurisdictional Variance

The system architecture recognizes multi-jurisdictional variance and the non-portability of specific legal procedures. System behavior in one jurisdiction does not establish precedent or expectation in another.
