Abstract:

   Gravit Epistemic Verification Protocol (GEVP) defines minimal data
   types and APIs for autonomous agents and human-machine systems to
   achieve epistemic convergence without centralized truth arbiters.
   GEVP is transport-agnostic, blockchain-agnostic, and model-agnostic.
   This document defines a parameterized cost model where C_validation
   is the cost to verify a Claim's provenance and signatures, and
   C_manipulation is the estimated cost to forge a quorum of
   attestations under GQRVP.  The protocol enforces the engineering
   invariant C_manipulation > C_validation for all accepted Claims.

   This document was previously published as draft-gravit-vcp-00 and -01
   under the acronym VCP (Verifiable Convergence Protocol).  To avoid
   collision with VeritasChain Protocol (VCP) defined in draft-kamimura-
   scitt-vcp [KAMIMURA-VCP], which is a SCITT profile for financial
   trading audit trails first published December 2025, the acronym is
   changed to GEVP from -02 onward.  The two protocols are unrelated and
   address different domains.  The former VCP acronym is deprecated and
   MUST NOT be used for this protocol.

   This revision (-02) addresses feedback on -01: pins reproducible
   trace commits, provides full confusion matrix with false positive
   rate, clarifies that cost model and resilience bound are heuristic
   parameterized estimates (not formal derivations from MWU regret
   bounds), defines exact SCITT Signed Statement, Receipt, and
   Transparency Service mappings, separates SCITT authenticity
   guarantees from epistemic truth, and adds Appendix B on Godel
   completeness boundary.
