hebrew field (computed by the JS algorithm at seal time), not hebrew_display (the Hebcal-fetched value shown to you). If those two values differ in a given entry, the hebrew field is what was hashed.sovereign-trace v2.0.0 for ASCII content. FROZEN-2.0 was rebuilt from first principles after FROZEN-1.0 was retired due to an incomplete dehiyot implementation causing Hebrew off-by-one errors for all 5786 dates. The defect is documented permanently in the ledger. It is never erased.
Each seal encodes a moment simultaneously in three civilizational time systems. This is not redundancy — it is a claim: this moment of human significance deserves to be held in every major framework for measuring when.
The SHA-256 hash is computed over a deterministic JSON payload binding five fields: dreamspell, entry, gregorian, hebrew, and unix_utc. The field named content_hash is a full-context stamp — it binds the content to all three temporal coordinates simultaneously, not the content alone. The payload structure (sorted keys, compact separators, ASCII-safe encoding) is identical between this browser tool and the Python package — seals generated here are verifiable with pip install sovereign-trace.
Note on cross-platform compatibility: The Python package uses ensure_ascii=True which escapes non-ASCII characters as \uXXXX. This browser tool implements the same escaping. Seals containing non-BMP characters (emoji, etc.) may differ from Python output for surrogate pair encoding edge cases. ASCII content is fully cross-compatible.
| WHO | WHAT THEY SEAL | WHY IT MATTERS |
|---|---|---|
| AI auditor | AI failure — exact text before remediation | Tamper-evident before the fix. Organizational accountability. |
| Researcher | Hypothesis before running the experiment | Kills HARKing. Priority claim. No institution required. |
| Journalist | Source document at point of receipt | Proves the document was not altered after receipt. |
| Contractor | Agreed scope before work begins | Scope creep disputes resolved by the sealed ledger. |
| Hospital | Clinical data before analysis begins | FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compatible. Record cannot be quietly altered. |
| Foresight analyst | Dated prediction before it resolves | Verifiable track record that cannot be fabricated after the fact. |
| Anyone | Any present-moment truth that deserves permanence | The hunger for recognition of significance resolves at stamp generation — not when someone reads it. |
