# VWDC-11 Handoff — Sovereign World Federation, Selective Disclosure, and Privacy-Preserving Trust Boundaries

## Starting state

VWDC-10 separates runtime capabilities:

$$
OBSERVE,
EVIDENCE,
LEARN,
PROPOSE,
CERTIFY,
RESERVE,
COMMIT.
$$

Trust is a vector rather than a scalar.

It uses influence-graph cuts to quarantine only the capabilities needed to block compromised-source paths toward protected shared-reality sinks.

## Objective

Allow federation members to prove enough for safe coordination without exposing all private world state, data, models, or organizational policy.

## Main questions

1. What is the minimum information a federation must reveal for a shared commit?
2. Can a runtime prove certificate validity without disclosing private evidence?
3. How should data residency and jurisdiction restrict evidence/model movement?
4. How should private RTC scopes interoperate?
5. When does auditability conflict with privacy?
6. How should selective disclosure/attestation be versioned?
7. How should a runtime leave a federation while shared commit history remains immutable?
8. Can sovereignty constraints be represented as hard capability/transaction gates?

## Desired form

$$
\boxed{
\text{private local worlds}
+
\text{selective proof/disclosure}
+
\text{sovereignty policies}
+
\text{shared commit requirements}
\Longrightarrow
\text{privacy-preserving federation contract}.
}
$$

## Prohibitions

- Do not require full local-world disclosure when a narrower proof is sufficient.
- Do not treat privacy-preserving proof as semantic truth.
- Do not let data-residency restrictions disappear during evidence aggregation.
- Do not erase shared commit provenance when one member exits the federation.
