Gravity Proof Standard v1.0

# Gravity Proof Standard v1.0

Standard ID: GPS-1

Status: Canonical

Maintainer: GravityBTC

## Purpose

The Gravity Proof Standard defines the minimum requirements for a verifiable proof.

A verifiable proof must be independently reviewable and reproducible.

## Required Components

- proof_id
- subject
- issuer
- timestamp
- SHA256 hash
- verification record
- retrieval path
- status

## Verification Requirement

A proof must allow an independent party to:

1. retrieve the referenced artifact
2. verify the hash
3. verify the proof record
4. reproduce the verification outcome

## Gravity Principle

A proof is not evidence because it exists.

A proof becomes evidence when it can be independently verified.
