Gravity Record Standard v1.0

# Gravity Record Standard v1.0
Standard ID: GRS-1
Status: Canonical
Maintainer: GravityBTC

## Purpose

The Gravity Record Standard defines the minimum structure for a verifiable digital record.

A Gravity record must answer:

1. What is the record?
2. Who issued it?
3. When was it created?
4. What hash identifies it?
5. Where can it be retrieved?
6. How can it be independently verified?

## Required Fields

- record_id
- title
- record_type
- issuer
- created_at
- canonical_url
- sha256
- verification_record
- status

## Verification Requirement

A record is incomplete unless a third party can independently compare the published artifact against its SHA256 hash and verification record.

## Gravity Principle

A record is not trusted because Gravity says it exists.

A record is trusted because Gravity makes it independently verifiable.
