      <abstract>
	 <t>   The Reilly Government Integrity Protocol (RGIP) defines a
   standards-aligned method for producing permanent, independently
   verifiable public records by combining multi-algorithm content
   hashing, public timestamp anchoring, archival deposit under a
   persistent identifier, decentralized storage, and web archiving into
   a single pipeline.

   This revision corrects defects in
   draft-reilly-government-integrity-01 that would have prevented
   independent verification or overstated the guarantees the protocol
   provides.  It replaces the -01 SHA3-512-only Cross-Chain Hash, which
   made a single algorithm the sole binding of three otherwise
   independent chains, with an entangled link-and-braid construction in
   which each chain consumes the prior state of all three.  It defines a
   canonical, domain-separated, length-delimited encoding for every
   hashed input, removing the concatenation ambiguity present in -01.
   It separates the signed Evidence Receipt Core from the mutable anchor
   envelope, resolving the -01 condition in which confirming an anchor
   invalidated the signature over the record it described.  It adds
   Chain Checkpoint anchoring, without which the -01 claim that record
   sequence is provable did not hold, since -01 anchored only artifact
   digests and never the chain itself.  It replaces raw digests of
   low-entropy government records with salted field commitments, adds
   explicit pending and attested anchor states, adds a Revocation
   Registry and Hash Migration Bridging Records, replaces the
   quantum_resilient boolean with a declared algorithm suite, prohibits
   automated repair of chain integrity violations, and narrows the -01
   post-quantum claims to what the constructions support.  It also
   documents the function of RGIP records and of this specification as
   prior art records under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1), consistent with the
   treatment in version -02 of the REM Protocol specification.
