I’ve been thinking about a simple question:
What if verification infrastructure should be separate from content itself?
Most systems host, mirror, or interpret information.
That mixes storage, meaning, and validation into one layer.
I’m experimenting with a minimal, non-custodial model:
Records SHA-256 over official bytes
Stores URL + fingerprint + deterministic result
Does not host or mirror documents
Same input → same output
Verification failures are preserved, not deleted
It’s not a truth engine.
It’s a byte-level sameness recorder.
I’m curious whether this kind of separation makes sense as infrastructure.
Accuracy (4) = Truth (2) = Life (4)

Implementation detail: it stores URL + SHA-256 + deterministic result only. No content storage. Open to critique on the separation model.
