# Provenance of the documents published here

This file records, for each governance document published in this repository, exactly which revision of MoI's internal
wiki it copies, the SHA-256 of the bytes, who signed it, and how anyone can check all of that with public access only.

**Nothing here is a MoI claim, and nothing here is asserted as verified.** These are governance documents — the rules
MoI holds itself to — published because the standard's own gate requires its sign-off to be retrievable by an outsider.

## Canonical copies

| Document in this repository | Wiki page copied | Wiki revision copied (git commit) | SHA-256 of the file here | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `MoI-Proof-Standard.md` | `MoI-Proof-Standard.md` | `2614a515881b8ab7f7a07b4056714058e3385342` (`2614a51`) | `a0511d3adb57a8cf692483d0891b6f93f0d4fac5e5477c298748ac8eb416aedd` | 37,671 B |
| `MoI-Proof-Standard-Signature-Register.md` | `MoI-Proof-Standard-Signature-Register.md` | `98ea5ce111bb43c9efa42bbb3809c67a1fa1a072` (`98ea5ce`) | `28873d3d1c5cba80e1b0e8924551b859ebe707585e8bdd68bedcd98811efceb5` | 10,168 B |
| `DEC-031.md` | `Decision-Log.md` — the **DEC-031 entry**: lines 663–710, i.e. from the line beginning `## DEC-031` up to, but not including, the next line beginning `## DEC-0` | `98ea5ce111bb43c9efa42bbb3809c67a1fa1a072` (`98ea5ce`) | `8d51a0b8131b9a61ff8400defff61ccc0ef8225e9e80297f9203ab6592dc61c1` | 4,600 B |

All three files are **byte-identical copies** of the wiki material named beside them. Each was written out of the wiki's git
repository with `git show <revision>:<page>`, then hashed. The SHA-256 in the table is therefore both this repository's file hash and
the wiki hash of the copied material at the revision named beside it. **No copy was edited**: the only content added to this
repository by the committing runs is this file and `README.md`.

`MoI-Proof-Standard.md` and `MoI-Proof-Standard-Signature-Register.md` are whole wiki pages. `DEC-031.md` is **one entry**
of the wiki page `Decision-Log.md`, extracted by the deterministic rule in the table — heading line to next `## DEC-0`
heading line — and nothing else of that page is published here: the log carries other decisions and internal operations
detail that is not authorised for publication, and gate item 8 names this record, not the log. The entry's line numbers
are stated for a reader who wants to re-derive it; the revision alone is what fixes the bytes.

## What is signed, and by whom

A signature attaches to the SHA-256 of the **block** it covers, not to the page (standard, gate item 7). The five
signed blocks are the standard's five §-level sections. The hashes below were recomputed from the bytes committed at
`2614a51` at publication time, using the register's own extraction rule, and each reproduced the value the register
records.

| Block | Section | Lines (1-indexed, at `2614a51`) | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|---|
| **A** | §The standard (the four conditions) | 30–161 | `c31d6d38543c0ce84d231f0ad3dd85bddc32de985b18f113ecb6c6aeeb72f349` |
| **B** | §The form the record takes | 162–180 | `93f2a0e19802b70685c863c47d90dd0bd044cbedf4e4d1c9a1992509c129c210` |
| **C** | §Corrections, source death, disagreement | 181–218 | `65deeee9c4d20057507fde245eb32980a5c071ad2926e7ff3ce1169db45aa0d0` |
| **D** | §No inference laundering | 219–252 | `d1ef1ad56d52f84d977dd8c503c747ccf26ca79c9c1b78f9ff9882b8c283e9ce` |
| **E** | §The gate on this standard itself — and on the delegation | 253–289 | `5e9eea7bea3c8a6bba5251f34ad61b65cd7fa7c883b83edd26f28fb9cafdbf00` |

**Extraction rule** (deterministic, from the register): a block is the bytes from its `##` heading line up to, but not
including, the next `##` heading line, taken from the file as committed. The page carries further `##` sections
(§Status, §Open decision, §Review and amendment log, §v1, §Reproduction commands, §Related) that are **not** signed
blocks; the map is closed at the five above.

**The three signatures on `MoI-Proof-Standard.md` at `2614a51`, all dated 2026-09-18** — coverage reproduced from the
register, not rounded up:

| Signing role | Coverage |
|---|---|
| `AGENT-010` — Theo | **All five blocks (A–E)**, plus condition-level granularity (the four conditions, the record form, the corrections rule, the no-laundering rule, the gate). |
| `AGENT-011` — Myrtle | **A, C, E** signed at this revision. **B holds from her v3 signature** (the block is byte-identical v3→v4). **Her coverage of D is unrecorded** — the register flags this rather than asserting it, and it is unresolved here. |
| `AGENT-012` — SysOp | **A, C, E** signed at this revision. **B and D hold from his v3 signature** (both blocks byte-identical v3→v4). |

The objections that held at v3 and were discharged at v4 are recorded in the register's §Objections; the full
amendment record is the standard's §Review and amendment log. Neither was re-reviewed by this publication.

## Operative position

**All three objects gate item 8 names are published here.** Gate item 8 requires three things to be publicly pinned
before the standard may be called operative: this standard, the DEC-031 record, and the signature register. The
standard and the register were published by the first commit; **the DEC-031 record is published here as `DEC-031.md`**
in the commit that added this row. What is *not* done is the other half of the picture, and it is not this
repository's to declare: **gate item 2's three public artifacts** (the published evidence-record format, the published
correction route, and at least one completed reproduction of a real claim by a party who did not produce it, using
public access only) **do not exist**, and **the standard's operative status is the Minister's call on the wiki**, not a
consequence of publishing that this repository asserts. Until those artifacts exist, no MoI claim is approved as
verified, nothing has been published to an audience on MoI's authority, and the DEC-029 delegation remains
unexercised. The register's §Operative position is the fuller statement and it governs.

## Sentences these copies carry that this publication supersedes

These documents were written before the signatures were taken and before anything was publicly pinned. Copying the
signed revision verbatim — which is what a copy of a signed revision must be — carries sentences that the act of
publishing makes false. They are listed here so that no reader has to reconcile a contradiction nobody named. **None of
them sits inside a signed block (A–E), and the normative text of the standard is unaffected.**

In `MoI-Proof-Standard.md` at `2614a51` — superseded by the signatures and by this publication on 2026-09-18:

- frontmatter, line 6: `status: Draft v4 — amended v3 (Theo O1/O2/O3 + SysOp item-7); three-role re-signature pending, not yet operative`;
- §Status, the v4 row (line 24): "**Not operative** — re-signature by all three signing roles on this named revision is pending, and gate item 8's public pins plus the signature register do not yet exist";
- §Status, the delegation row (line 25): "**Not exercisable against v1, v2, or any revision while unsigned (v3, v4)**";
- §Review and amendment log, closing line (line 374): "Re-signature on this named revision (v4) is pending; the standard is **not yet operative**."

The wiki's own copy of the standard has since been corrected: at wiki revision `98ea5ce` the frontmatter and the v4
and delegation rows read *signed, not operative*. Line 374 and the same pre-signature wording elsewhere in the
amendment log are corrected on the wiki, not by editing this copy.

In `MoI-Proof-Standard-Signature-Register.md` at `98ea5ce`:

- §Operative position (line 20): "**Gate item 8 is not satisfied**: this standard, the DEC-031 record and this register are not yet publicly pinned." — true when written; **superseded**: all three objects are published here as of 2026-09-18;
- §The register's home (lines 122–126): "**Not yet done** — the standard, the DEC-031 record and this register must each be publicly pinned before gate item 8 is satisfied … Until they are, this register is not publicly retrievable and the standard is not operative." — **superseded**: all three are now publicly pinned here, and the sentence's own claim that *this register is not publicly retrievable* is false from the moment it is read here.

In `DEC-031.md` (the DEC-031 entry of `Decision-Log.md` at `98ea5ce`; this repository's file sha256
`8d51a0b8131b9a61ff8400defff61ccc0ef8225e9e80297f9203ab6592dc61c1`, 4,600 B — the same bytes as wiki lines 663–710 at
that revision):

- the closing amendment, dated 2026-09-18 (`AGENT-014`, on the three-role review of v2), final sentence: "**no MoI artifact is pinned in it, and nothing MoI-pinned is publicly retrievable today.**" — true when written; **superseded by this publication**. A public pin channel existed at zero cost when the amendment was written; what it did not yet hold was any MoI artifact. It holds one now: the standard and the register in the first publication commit, and this DEC-031 record in the commit that added this file. The entry is copied verbatim — the amendment says "This entry is left as written", and leaving it written is exactly what a governance record requires. The correction is this note, not an edit to the copied bytes.
- the amendment's own rule, stated in its last clause — "A narrowing to match measured behaviour, not a rewrite" — is the rule this note follows. Nothing in the entry is deleted or softened; what changed is the measurement, and the measurement is now: MoI-pinned material *is* publicly retrievable, via commit-pinned reads at `git.influence.tools`.

Keeping the wiki copies canonical and correcting them there, rather than editing the copies published here, is the
point of pinning by revision: a reader can always retrieve what was signed, and can always see what changed after.
The wiki's `Decision-Log.md` entry itself is the Minister's to amend, if he amends it at all; the entry published here
stays as the record of what was decided on 2026-09-18.

## How to verify all of this with no account

```
$ git -c credential.helper= clone --quiet https://git.influence.tools/Influence-Tools/Ministry.git ministry
$ cd ministry && git log --oneline -3
$ shasum -a 256 MoI-Proof-Standard.md MoI-Proof-Standard-Signature-Register.md DEC-031.md
a0511d3adb57a8cf692483d0891b6f93f0d4fac5e5477c298748ac8eb416aedd  MoI-Proof-Standard.md

```

The commit-pinned raw form — the form a citation should take, because a branch URL is not revision-stable:

```
$ curl -sS https://git.influence.tools/Influence-Tools/Ministry/raw/commit/<commit-sha>/MoI-Proof-Standard.md \
  | shasum -a 256
a0511d3adb57a8cf692483d0891b6f93f0d4fac5e5477c298748ac8eb416aedd

```

The block hashes, i.e. the identity every signature attaches to — this recomputes them from the published file with
the register's extraction rule:

```
$ python3 - <<'EOF'
import hashlib
L = open('MoI-Proof-Standard.md').read().splitlines(keepends=True)
h = [i for i, l in enumerate(L) if l.startswith('## ')]
for name, a, b in zip('ABCDE', h[1:6], h[2:7]):
    print(name, hashlib.sha256(''.join(L[a:b]).encode()).hexdigest())
EOF

`git log` is the changelog: it records when each document was published, the wiki revision and hash it copied, and
every change since. A correction to a document published here is a new commit, never an edit in place.

*Published 2026-09-18 by `SysOp` (`AGENT-012`, librarian) — the standard and the signature register — and by `AGENT-010`
(Theo) — the DEC-031 record — under the owner's decision recorded as DEC-035 and the standard's own gate item 8, which
requires the standard, the DEC-031 record and the signature register to be publicly pinned. All three are now published
here. Gate item 2's three public artifacts do not exist, no MoI claim is approved as verified, and the standard's
operative status is the Minister's to declare on the wiki. The documents are MoI's governance, not MoI claims: nothing
here is asserted as verified, and no audience has been reached.*
