VSC Architecture
VSC models changing state as a deterministic progression rather than a series of complete independent copies.
Structural model
Section titled “Structural model”Base State ↓Delta 01 ↓Delta 02 ↓Delta 03 ↓Latest StateEach transition preserves enough information to reconstruct and verify the resulting state.
Components
Section titled “Components”Base snapshot
Section titled “Base snapshot”A complete initial state.
A deterministic description of files or state elements that were added, modified or removed.
An ordered sequence connecting the base state to later states.
Cryptographic identity used to detect integrity changes.
Recovery
Section titled “Recovery”Rules and artifacts required to reconstruct the intended state.
Verification flow
Section titled “Verification flow”Base +Ordered Deltas ↓Restore ↓Reconstructed State ↓Root Hash ↓Compare ↓PASS / FAILDesign boundary
Section titled “Design boundary”VSC verifies structural state integrity.
It does not establish:
- truth of external claims
- identity of an actor
- authorization
- legal compliance
- correctness of a business decision
