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 (-03) addresses minor editorial fixes on -02 for SCITT
   WG submission: removes workgroup tag to reflect Individual Internet-
   Draft status (IESG state I-D Exists, Stream None), normalizes Godel
   to ASCII for 0 idnits warnings, updated date to 23 Jul 2026, no
   normative changes from -02 Posted 22 Jul 19:27.  This revision (-02)
   addressed feedback on -01: pins reproducible trace commits, provides
   full confusion matrix, clarifies heuristic estimates, defines exact
   SCITT mappings, and adds Appendix B on Godel boundary.
