# Gravity Standards Authority Charter v1.0

Authority ID: GSAC-1

Status: Canonical

Maintainer: GravityBTC

## Purpose

Gravity Standards exist to define verifiable structures for records, publications, certification, preservation, and verification.

The standards are public.

The standards are reviewable.

The standards are independently verifiable.

The standards are preserved.

## Mission

To create transparent standards that improve continuity, auditability, preservation, and verification confidence.

## Principles

Verification over assertion.

Transparency over opacity.

Preservation over disappearance.

Continuity over fragmentation.

Independent review over trust assumptions.

## Scope

Gravity Standards currently govern:

- Records
- Verification
- Certification
- Publication Integrity
- Evidence Preservation

## Governance

Standards are governed under GSG-1.

## Authority Principle

Gravity does not become authoritative by claiming authority.

Gravity becomes authoritative when its standards remain useful, reviewable, preserved, and referenced over time.
