Trust states remain separate

Provenance should travel with the medical record.

Recorded provenance

Originating system, author/source, creation time, revision/addendum, derivation and final state.

Document integrity

Whether the checked bytes match the sealed state.

Identity assurance

Whether the signing key is trusted and connected to a verified real-world identity.

Clinical truth

Whether the medical statement is correct. A valid signature or seal does not prove this.

A later amendment begins new lineage; it does not silently rewrite the sealed clinical record.
