VEOS is a proof system, not an authority.
This page documents the explicit limits of what VEOS will not do — even if requested. These refusals are intentional. They are what make the system trustworthy.
VEOS does not verify whether a statement is true.
It does not confirm:
VEOS certifies integrity only — whether data has remained unchanged since it was recorded.
If content is false at the time of recording, VEOS will preserve that falseness — unchanged.
VEOS does not guarantee:
A VEOS receipt backs up an argument. It cannot force agreement or judgment.
VEOS does not provide:
VEOS stores proof artifacts, not money, identity, or authority.
VEOS will refuse to issue a receipt if:
In these cases, VEOS returns a refusal (e.g. pending or error) rather than issuing proof that might later fail verification.
VEOS will not:
Trust systems must be honest under failure. VEOS refuses to lie early.
VEOS does not replace:
VEOS provides a verifiable artifact. What others decide to do with that artifact is outside the system.
A system that refuses to lie early is more trustworthy than one that succeeds quickly.
