    abstract =  {AI agents increasingly act on information they cannot check: what a business can supply, what a person said, what rules a platform applies. This document describes a minimal way to make such statements accountable. Every statement is signed by its author, bound where possible to a domain the author controls, and sealed in a public append-only Merkle log whose tree heads are signed, timestamped and publicly monitored. The design proves who said what and when, and that the record was not rewritten. It deliberately does not attempt to prove that a statement is true.},
