Situated Living Files v0.1 — Specification

Situated Living Files (SLF) v0.1 specifies a portable file-grammar form for declaring, exhibiting, and verifying situated digital acts as digital artefacts. An SLF artefact is a digital artefact whose validity, use, consumption, expiration, rejection, revocation, failure, and verifiable residue depend on declared temporal, spatial, and contextual conditions. This package includes the populated SLF v0.1 specification body (§0–§19), standalone JSON Schemas, and standalone JSON examples. The specification covers ordinary SLF artefacts, declared temporal/spatial/contextual conditions, lifecycle states and transitions, evaluation context, verifiable residues, detached proof references, JSON grammar, conformance, security/privacy considerations, and publication/verification notes. This package uses a dual licensing structure: prose specification and documentation files are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0 / CC-BY-4.0); machine-readable schemas, examples, and code-like artefacts are licensed under Apache License 2.0 (Apache-2.0). See publication/LICENSE for the per-file scope mapping. File-level SPDX-License-Identifier markers, when present, control for the marked file. Publication or verification of this package does not by itself establish legal validity, legal admissibility, regulatory compliance, truth certification, notarial substitution, tamper-proof security, blockchain replacement, evaluator trust-basis verification, mandatory proof-service validity, or global canonicality among divergent residues.
