IETF Internet-Draft: draft-wang-hjs-judgment-event-00
Version: 00 (3 2026)
This repository contains the formal specification for the JEP (Judgment Event Protocol), which defines four core primitives for recording traceable, verifiable events in AI and automated systems.
| Primitive | Description | IETF Draft Section |
|---|---|---|
| Judgment | Record a decision event (actor, action, scope, timestamp) | Section 3.2.1 |
| Delegation | Transfer authority with scope and expiry | Section 3.2.2 |
| Termination | End responsibility chains | Section 3.2.3 |
| Verification | Validate record integrity and chains | Section 3.2.4 |
JEP defines structural traceability primitives only. It does not determine:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ❌ Legal Responsibility | Does not assign legal liability |
| ❌ Ethical Judgment | Does not evaluate decision correctness |
| ❌ Regulatory Compliance | Does not guarantee compliance |
All responsibility determinations must be made by external systems or legal procedures.
