The rules

• Everything the specifications require to be published goes to a Registry. Publishing anywhere else is additional, never a substitute.
• Every Unit of Proof, result series record and booking carries its Registry record identifier as proofregister_uri.
• Registration precedes publication. A result is registered before any rate derived from it is published or cited, and the published result carries the Registry Receipt: the Registry’s signed acknowledgment that it recorded the record under a stated root and Time Anchor pulse.
• A run that was executed but never registered may be described as “executed under PP-SPEC-077”. It is not Conformant and produces no Units of Proof. See Conformance Level.
• The Provider never operates the Registry for its own run (IP-9).
