      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP), a minimal
   verifiable log format for decision-related operations in agent
   systems.  JEP specifies four immutable event verbs (J, D, T, V), a
   signed JSON event structure, anti-replay protection, detached JSON Web
   Signature (JWS) verification over JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS)
   canonicalized payloads, event hash and reference semantics, validation
   modes, and a modular extension framework.

   JEP is intended to provide global protocol-level interoperability for
   verifiable decision event records.  It does not define legal
   liability, authorization validity, regulatory compliance, or
   organizational trust decisions.
