Reference Layer 1 standard publicly documented
Standards
Standards derive from Protocols. Each defines a verifiable condition — the threshold by which a Protocol's obligation is assessed.
Standards translate Framework obligations into measurable conditions. Where protocols establish obligations, standards define the thresholds by which structural claims can be meaningfully assessed.
About Standards
Standards translate structural obligations into verifiable conditions. They specify what coherence looks like in practice, turning abstract claims into criteria that can be tested, interpreted, and implemented.
Relationship to Protocols
Standards operate beneath Protocols. A Protocol establishes the obligation; a Standard defines the threshold. Multiple standards may exist for a single protocol domain.
