T-RUE and the Problem of Trust That Cascades
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
T-RUE is a proposed open standard for propagating the revocation of authority through chains of AI agents.
Field notes
T-RUE treats delegated authority as a chain rather than a single permission: if A revokes B, the revocation is meant to propagate through B’s endorsement of C and beyond. Its proposed checks are traceability, transparency, timeliness, and proof that stale endorsements no longer appear valid. The page links to browser-run test vectors, an example envelope, a validator script, and spec.json/spec.txt files generated from the same source. Institutional stewardship and the patent pledge are presented as commitments or plans, not independently verified facts.
