Abstract

This release contains ROVS-XL v0.1.1, a validation-only standard within the DLX framework. DLX and ROVS-XL define formal boundaries for claims, state transitions, and responsibility in complex, agent-driven systems. The framework is intended to constrain how undocumented state changes, silent failures, and claim escalation can propagate and be asserted, rather than to prevent errors or guarantee correctness. This artifact does not certify correctness, safety, compliance, or system success. It does not execute or automate operational processes. Instead, it constrains how actions and claims may affect system state, and how evidence is produced, recorded, and interpreted. ROVS-XL focuses on operator-run validation, reproducibility, and falsifiability of process claims. It explicitly separates validation from execution and treats time, delegation, and automation as sources of epistemic drift rather than trust. This release includes the ROVS-XL specification, conformance checklist, minimal compliance suite, operational validation tools, and the DLX Anti-Gravity Principle, which describes how the framework resists the accumulation of unvalidated assumptions over time. The software and documents are intended for research, auditability, governance, and institutional accountability contexts. They make no claims of fitness for any particular purpose. This record corresponds to tag rovs-xl-0.1.1. Licensing terms for reuse are not finalized as part of this record.
