	 <t>This document defines HJS (Human Judgment System), a standalone
accountability layer for AI agents. HJS provides four primitives
(Judgment/Delegation/Termination/Verification) for recording
complete responsibility chains, and uses OTS (Open Timestamp) proofs
anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain to create immutable, court-
admissible evidence. While HJS can complement other protocols (e.g.,
AIIP) by providing the evidence they require, it is designed to be
independent and usable with any AI agent communication framework.
