CEG 1.0-RC29, de-editorialized for human reading
What this is
Every claim travels in a small signed envelope: who made it, what it’s about, how confident they are, what evidence they cite, when it was made. Other people, organisations, and AI agents add envelopes around it, agreeing, disagreeing, correcting, superseding. The trail is readable end-to-end.
Why we made it
Trust in “what’s true” is breaking down because the substrate underneath is missing. Without a shared claim format, every voice invents its own, the trails don’t stitch together, and the only way to cope is to pick a side. CEG is the small, austere middle that lets many voices read each other and lets a reader build their own verdict.
What’s comparable
- PGP web of trust, same instinct, much narrower scope
- W3C Verifiable Credentials, heavier ceremony, no composition story
- Community Notes, readable trails, single platform
- Sigstore / SLSA, code-supply-chain cousins; CEG generalises the shape
See who said it
Every claim carries a signature, a date, what it’s about, and what it’s based on. No anonymous assertions getting lost in the feed; no attribution lost to a screenshot.
See who else weighed in
Other signers add their own envelopes around the claim, agreeing, disagreeing, correcting, superseding. You see the full chorus and the receipts behind each voice, not just whoever shouted loudest.
Decide for yourself
Trust isn’t something the system hands you. You pick the voices you weigh, how heavily, and on what. The format is the same for everyone; the verdict is yours.
