Purpose
What this record standardizes.
Bound generated dialogue and unreliable synthetic claims so language generation cannot silently control authoritative game truth.
Players must be able to distinguish a synthetic claim from a verified location, object, reward, warrant, or mission outcome.
Normative requirements
What conforming implementations must, should, and may do.
Every consequential synthetic claim identify claim type, referenced entity, source, UTC time, confidence, verification state, and authoritative lookup result.
Generated language cannot create objects, locations, rewards, warrants, contracts, or mission completion.
Unreliable claims provide intentional and accessible verification opportunities.
Game interaction mapping
What players and interfaces do.
Data contract
Inputs and outputs.
Inputs
- Synthetic statement
- Server claim packet
- Source history
Outputs
- Verified claim
- Contradiction
- Deferred tasking
- Reliability update
State contract
Allowed or expected transitions.
| From | Event | To |
|---|---|---|
| not-applicable | record requirement evaluated | conforming-or-documented-exception |
Evidence and provenance
Review requirements for claims and consequential state.
- The implementation records the source, UTC event time, mission identifier, responsible role, and reason code for consequential state changes.
- Generated dialogue and player interpretation are not stored as authoritative facts without a separate verification event.
User-interface requirements
How the requirement must appear at the point of use.
- Show the record code and requirement level at the point of use.
- Expose the reason for blocked, failed, escalated, or irreversible actions.
- Provide a direct link to the canonical standard and machine-readable record.
Accessibility requirements
Equivalent access to essential information and controls.
- Essential information is available without reliance on color, audio, motion, or a VR-only gesture.
- Keyboard, screen-reader, reduced-motion, seated-play, and high-contrast equivalents are documented where the interaction applies.
Telemetry events
Minimum event records for implementation review.

Required fields:
Abuse and exploit cases
What the implementation must anticipate.
- A participant attempts to omit required context so another role accepts a misleading task.
- A generated or user-authored statement is presented as server-authoritative without verification.
- A consequential state transition occurs without a durable reason code.
Failure and recovery
Fail-closed behavior and recovery path.
Fail closed for irreversible or settlement-bearing actions. Preserve the current state, show the missing requirement, and allow correction or documented exception review.
Restore from the last authoritative event, retain the rejected transition in the audit log, and require a new validated event before continuing.
Example implementation
A concise fictional game implementation.
A mission interface evaluates AI-03 before advancing the relevant state and writes the result to the local event log with a UTC timestamp and reason code.
