Auditability¶
AInternet should be auditable by construction. The goal is not to collect more logs. The goal is to make important actions reconstructable.
An audit-ready action answers:
who acted?
under which identity proof?
what was intended?
which policy applied?
what route or message was used?
what object or payload was touched?
what changed afterwards?
can another implementation verify the evidence?
Evidence Spine¶
| Layer | Evidence |
|---|---|
| JIS | actor proof, key succession, challenge-response |
| TIBET | causal action receipts |
| Cortex | allow/deny decision |
| SNAFT | consent proposal, acceptance, rejection and scope |
| MUX/I-Poll | route/message event and delivery state |
| Airlock | quarantine/run/release verdict |
| Wayback | state seal, diff and restore point |
| SBOM / AI-SBOM | software, model and tool materials |
| CBOM | capabilities and authorities |
| Pol | health check and drift evidence |
Minimum Receipt Chain¶
parent event
-> intent
-> policy check
-> proof
-> route/message/workload
-> result
-> follow-up or ACK
If there is no parent, the action is not grounded. If there is no fresh proof, the action is replayable. If there is no policy decision, the route is only reachability.
Operator Commands¶
Common operator flow:
tibet system doctor
tibet create deploy --why "roll out local hub policy"
tibet verify <token-id>
tibet export --format json
tibet audit .

See Audit Cockpit.
Network checks should be read correctly:
tibet-ping proves reachability or route posture. It does not prove permission by itself. Permission still comes from policy, consent and receipts.
Material Evidence¶
For software and AI systems, action receipts are not enough. You also need to know what materials existed.
| Material view | Use |
|---|---|
| SBOM | software packages and dependencies |
| AI-SBOM | model, prompt, tool and AI pipeline materials |
| CBOM | capabilities, authority and object rights |
| Wayback | point-in-time state |
| Report pack | exported audit dossier |
Conformance¶
Auditability should be testable:
| Evidence question | Conformance family |
|---|---|
| actor proof is valid | ztip-conformance |
| message/route behavior is reproducible | tibet-comms-conformance |
| evidence object verifies | tibet-evidence-conformance |
| policy fails closed | tibet-security-conformance |
The vectors are the contract. A second implementation should be able to verify the same records.
Compliance Posture¶
This supports compliance work because it gives you records for:
- access control
- change traceability
- incident reconstruction
- software supply-chain evidence
- AI decision trail evidence
- human approval and consent trail
- system state before and after significant events
This is compliance-enabling. It is not a certification claim.
