Purpose¶
Verifiable elements are the core building blocks of AR.
They let the contract be modular without losing identity, traceability, or verification structure.
Element Identity¶
Each element has stable identity metadata, including:
- canonical URI;
- persistent ID;
- compact ID;
- local name;
- label.
Element identity is independent of package identity.
Elements and Packages¶
Packages distribute elements.
Packages do not own the stable identity of the elements they distribute.
Boundary¶
A verifiable element defines accountable-record structure.
It does not decide final domain truth, authority, legitimacy, or meaning.
