Paper proposes revision-bound evidence cuts for authenticated queries
Original title: Revision-Bound Evidence Cuts: Authenticated Queries and Contextual Witness Capacity
A verifier checked 16,824 records, and the SCENE prototype scaled signed revisions to one million records.
Researchers present revision-bound evidence cuts for authenticating supporting and opposing inference obligations as source versions change. An authenticated relational query contract binds source records, selected bags, counting units, parameters, and aggregates independently of execution strategy. A verifier checked 16,824 Chogha Mish records, while a 340-row NISP cohort showed a weighting-rule change can reverse a comparison. The SCENE prototype evaluated signed revisions and adversarial mutations at up to one million records. The authors say the guarantees authenticate specified computations, not historical truth or institutional endorsement.
Unconfirmed: The paper does not report independent reproduction of the prototype results.
- Three valid query strategies agreed, and eight contract or view mutations were rejected.
- Changing an admitted weighting rule reversed a comparison while preserving every source record.
- SCENE evaluated scoped disclosures and adversarial mutations at one million source records.
- Guarantees depend on declared policies and independently pinned trust roots.

We present revision-bound evidence cuts, a framework for authenticating both supporting and opposing inference obligations across changing source versions.
