Frameworks
The VTI Foundation maintains governance frameworks that support the implementation, evaluation, and conformity development of Verifiable Trust Infrastructure (VTI).
Frameworks provide structured governance models, architectural patterns, and evaluative constructs for the control, verification, and admissibility of consequence-bearing computational actions.
While standards establish normative technical requirements, frameworks articulate structured approaches that may inform implementation design, conformity evaluation, governance architecture, and future standardization.
Framework Library
The Framework Library contains governance models addressing execution admissibility, authorization integrity, consequence-aware computation, and trust-state verification.
Frameworks complement VTI standards and may inform future standardization, conformity programs, technical guidance, and certification criteria.
Pre-Execution Admissibility Gate (PEAG™)
Status: Published Framework
PEAG establishes a deterministic decision boundary between proposed execution and authorized execution.
The framework focuses on whether a consequence-bearing action is admissible before execution is permitted to form.
Deterministic Execution Admissibility State (DEAS™)
Status: Published Framework
DEAS defines a structured representation of execution admissibility conditions within consequence-bearing systems.
The framework supports reproducible admissibility-state determination, independent verification, and governance evaluation across distributed environments.
Framework Development
The VTI Foundation continues to develop governance frameworks addressing computational trust, authorization integrity, execution admissibility, trust-state verification, and consequence-bearing system governance.
Frameworks may serve as the basis for future standards, conformity programs, technical guidance, and certification criteria published by the Foundation.
Relationship to Standards
Frameworks complement VTI standards by providing governance models and implementation-oriented guidance.
Frameworks are non-normative unless expressly incorporated into a published VTI standard, annex, conformity program, or certification requirement.
For normative technical requirements, see the VTI Standard.
Frameworks are subject to independent revision, versioning, and governance processes separate from normative VTI standards unless formally incorporated.
