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 (-04) archives reproducible trace to Zenodo DOI for
   long-term permanence (addresses GitHub rebase risk), adds Section 3.2
   Authentication Profile (SHOULD did:web, MAY did:key, PoW/stake
   deferred), adds Section 1.2 explicit comparison table with [KAMIMURA-
   VCP], adds Liaison Statement with SCITT WG, adds Implementation
   Status with two independent implementations, retains Informational
   status per RFC track strategy, and retains all normative content from
   -03 Posted 23 Jul 2026.  This revision (-03) removed workgroup tag,
   normalized Godel ASCII.  This revision (-02) pinned commits, added
   confusion matrix, clarified heuristics, defined SCITT mappings, added
   Appendix B.
