Abstract:

   Audit systems for autonomous agents commonly record the actions an
   agent performed.  This makes the non-occurrence of a permitted action
   unrepresentable: when nothing happens, there is no action to emit
   anything.  This document describes an evidence model that records the
   authorization decision rather than the action.  A decision exists
   whether or not the action follows, so denials, expiries, and
   commitments that were granted and never honoured remain
   representable.

   The document defines four disclosures that make a decision record
   independently evaluable, an entry-emission rule for states a relying
   party may need to reason about, and the evidentiary basis for claims
   that a decision preceded its effect.  It distinguishes
   correspondence, where two records agree about what happened, from
   precedence, where the order of decision and effect is established,
   and it requires records to state which of the two they carry.
