Parametric Trigger
A predefined condition that determines eligibility in a parametric structure without case-by-case loss adjustment. It depends on declared measurements, thresholds, and policy logic.
Used in: FONDEN post
Pre-Catalog Parameter
An event parameter captured before later scientific normalization cycles. It is suited for deterministic trigger-state replay when provenance and timing are explicitly sealed.
Used in: Pre-catalog post
Catalog Parameter
A refined event parameter published in a curated catalog that may change over time. Catalog quality can improve while introducing revision-handling requirements in trigger governance.
Used in: Pre-catalog post
Oracle Risk
The risk that settlement-critical state cannot be independently reproduced under declared scope. Oracle risk rises when systems depend on mutable single-source values without replay controls.
Used in: FONDEN post
Trigger Dispute Surface
The set of ambiguities counterparties may contest when evaluating trigger outcomes. Deterministic replay and sealed evidence reduce this surface.
Used in: FONDEN post
Deterministic Replay
Re-executing a declared computation path from declared inputs to reproduce the same outputs byte-for-byte. Determinism is the minimum technical bar for independent verification.

Fail-Closed
A control posture where missing or mismatched verification artifacts block publication. The system does not downgrade requirements silently when verification fails.
Used in: VOSINT post
Attestation Context
The declared set of inputs, transforms, hashes, signatures, and witness metadata that makes a claim replayable. Context links narrative statements to verifiable artifacts.
Used in: FONDEN post
Non-Repudiation
Cryptographic evidence that a signed state existed at a declared time and cannot be plausibly denied later. Detached signatures and witness roots are typical mechanisms.
Used in: VOSINT post
Provider Drift
Divergence between providers over time in reported event parameters or derived indicators. Drift requires explicit policy handling to avoid implicit trigger inconsistency.
Used in: Market drift lane
Merkle Seal
A root hash committing a set of artifact hashes under deterministic ordering and node rules. It allows inclusion verification without transferring the entire artifact set.
Used in: Verification
GPG Signature
A detached cryptographic signature binding a specific file hash to a signing key. Signature verification confirms authenticity and integrity of published artifacts.
Used in: Verification
DMSS
Deterministic Multi-Source Settlement Standard: a control framework where trigger-critical measurements require multi-source corroboration, deterministic replay, and sealed evidence before admissible publication.
Used in: Start Here
DT0
A strict determinism profile requiring zero unresolved computational variance under declared scope. DT0-compliant runs are either reproducible or fail-closed.
Used in: Verification
DAROC
Deterministic Acquisition, Reconciliation, and Operational Cryptoseal: an execution pattern where acquisition, reconciliation, and cryptographic sealing are bound into one replayable claim-chain.
Used in: Protocol
VOSINT
Verifiable Open-Source Intelligence. Public-source inputs are upgraded to evidentiary quality by verification (V1), replayability (V2), and witnessed non-repudiation (V3).
