Abstract:

   Authorization proves what action was permitted; it does not prove
   what happened after execution.  An executor-signed result improves
   attribution but remains a claim by the party that acted.  This
   document specifies a source-routed Outcome Binding profile.  Signed
   predicted effects identify the source role and source class required
   to evaluate each predicate.  Executors, systems of record, and
   independent observers sign closed observation objects bound to the
   same authorization, action digest, Canonical Action Identifier,
   consumption nonce, operation, facility, and observation window.  A
   deterministic verifier separates evidence availability from
   comparison: missing or unauthenticated required sources yield an
   indeterminate lifecycle state; authentic observations yield the
   closed comparison result in_bounds, divergent, or incomparable.  The
   profile improves consequence reconciliation without claiming physical
   truth, sensor correctness, or legal finality.
