R-01 v1.1 — Canonical Text Specification for the Canal Transparency Protocol (PTC/CTP)

R-01 v1.1 defines the normative rules for producing the canonical textual object used by the Canal Transparency Protocol (PTC/CTP). The specification establishes a deterministic procedure for transforming textual documents into a reproducible canonical object suitable for cryptographic verification. It defines the applicable normalization rules, the construction of the normative cryptographic preimages, SHA-256 hash computation, and the perimeter and extraction rules of the canonical TXT artifact. This record publishes the official R-01 v1.1 specification in three languages: • Spanish (ES) • English (EN) • French (FR) Each language version is distributed through: • A PTC distribution package generated with Validator Portable v1.0. The package contains the preserved source, the canonical textual object, the canonical TXT artifact with its PTC declaration, the isolated PTC block, the manifest and the package documentation. • A separate DOCX representation intended for reading and consultation. The DOCX file is a derived, non-normative representation and does not contain an independent PTC declaration. Each PTC distribution package can be independently verified with the Validator reference implementation. Verification establishes documentary integrity, formal consistency of the declaration and technical conformance with the normative protocol. It does not certify the material truth, legal validity, scientific quality or ethical value of the document. R-01 v1.1 forms part of the normative corpus of the Canal Transparency Protocol together with: • PTC-F v1.2 — Functional Specification. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21406680 • ARCH v0.3 — Normative Architecture and Governance Specification. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21406665 The reference implementation is: • Validator Portable v1.0. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21251714 The specification was developed through documented human–AI co-creation involving GPT-5.6 Thinking by OpenAI and Claude by Anthropic, with final human review, decision-making and responsibility assumed by Manuel Barrera Anglada.
