How FRAME works

FRAME turns a human declaration into a verifiable digital record. It preserves authorship, intent, and proof in a form that can be checked across systems.

The process
01
Creation

A human author creates a digital work, event, or record.

02
Declaration

The author declares identity, intent, and relevant metadata.

03
Encoding

The declaration is structured into a canonical Frame record.

04
Signature

Cryptographic proof binds the declaration to the creation event.

05
Verification

The record can be checked for integrity and declared origin across compatible systems.

06
Indexing

References may be registered for discovery, lookup, and audit.

Technical notes

FRAME uses canonical record structures, cryptographic hashing, and signatures to preserve tamper-evident accountability. Compatible systems may index Frame references for discovery and audit.

Protocol boundary

FRAME records declarations. It does not arbitrate, rank, or filter content.
