ANCHORED LINEAGE RECEIPTS

Anchored Lineage Receipts

Records derivation lineage — input hashes, transformation, output hash, and disclosure chain. The first family to deploy W3C Bitstring Status List 2021 for revocation. Anchors GPAI training-data provenance obligations under the EU AI Act.

WIRE TYPES

ar.lineage.v1 (derived_from)

Records that an artifact was derived from one or more parent artifacts. Each parent is identified by content hash and optionally by its APR or ALR receipt ID — building a verifiable DAG of data provenance.

ar.lineage.v1 (forked_from)

Records a new independent fork of an existing artifact. Starts a fresh chain head — the fork's history diverges from the parent while maintaining a verifiable link to its origin.

ar.lineage.v1 (superseded_by)

Records that an artifact has been replaced by a newer version. Flips the predecessor's Status List bit to revoked — linear supersession chain per artifact.

ar.lineage.v1 (disclosed)

Records a disclosure event in the artifact's lifecycle. Continues the per-artifact chain when disclosure is logged after creation or supersession — the cryptographic record of who received what, when.

WHAT IT PROVES

  • An artifact's derivation chain — which inputs produced which outputs (content-hash DAG).
  • An artifact was superseded by a specific replacement (linear chain walk).
  • A disclosure event happened before a specific UTC date (Merkle inclusion proof).
  • The derivation was signed by a registered issuer key (Ed25519 signature check).

WHAT IT DOESN'T PROVE

  • The transformation logic was correct, fair, or legally compliant.
  • All inputs were declared — unlisted sources may have contributed.
  • The disclosed recipients actually accessed the data.
  • Training data quality, representativeness, or bias characteristics.

COMPOSES WITH

ALR receipts reference other family members via body-level composition pointers — verifier-coordinated, not signature-mandated.

APRAgent Provenance Receipts

Lineage receipts can reference an APR as the origin anchor for a parent artifact — rooting derivation at an APR-anchored creation event.

ANRAnchored Notice Receipts

ANR translation events may reference an ALR receipt for translation provenance — cross-checking that the ALR artifact_hash matches the ANR policy_hash.

AIRAnchored Impact Receipts

DPIA receipts cite ALR receipts for data-flow lineage in scope of the impact assessment.
