Formal Specification
If you only need the worldbuilding context, you can stop here. The sections below contain formal definitions, fields, governance, and implementation details for deeper reference.
Each Conformance Test Answers a Different Question
Formal terms remain, but readers should first see the question each layer actually evaluates.
| Formal term | Reader question | Evaluation basis |
|---|---|---|
| Data Identity | Are the standardized data identical? | Compares standardized data. |
| Reference Render Identity | Does the render match under declared conditions? | Declared decoder / renderer and viewing conditions. |
| Physical Embodiment Conformance | Does the physical embodiment fall within acceptable tolerance? | Applicable tolerances and calibration conditions declared by the reference profile. |
