Evidence packet — ISO/IEC 5259

One row of this record, assembled so it can be taken somewhere else: what the publisher published, where this record read it, what it hashed, and what changed between two readings it retained. Generated 2026-11-02. It carries no assessment of what the document requires and no reading of what any change means.

The packet, in three formats

• JSON /packet/iso-iec-5259.json — every field
• Markdown /packet/iso-iec-5259.md — the same content as plain text
• ZIP archive /packet/iso-iec-5259.zip — an RO-Crate holding the files listed below

The archive holds the files listed here, in the order it holds them. The last is a metadata document that neither of the other two formats carries.

• packet.json The packet object alone. The JSON address serves the same object under its packet key, beside fields of its own, so the object is served there and these bytes are not.
• packet.md The bytes served at the Markdown address.
• leaves-iso-iec-5259.txt This row’s lines of the published leaf file, each one a line of the file served at the leaf file’s address.
• root.txt The bytes served at the root’s address.
• ro-crate-metadata.json The metadata document, served only in this archive. It names this record as the archive’s author and describes each other file listed here. It names the row’s document at the answered address the packet gives for it, or at the row’s source address where the packet gives none, and each reading the packet lists at that reading’s answered address. For www.iso.org, the host of those addresses, it states whether this record’s rulings file holds a reading of that host’s terms, whether every sentence that reading names is still in the bytes it was read from, and whether it records an attribution. Where the crate carries a credit for a host, it is the credit that reading records, found as whole words in those bytes, and each document at that host carries it.

Every file sits inside the archive’s one top-level directory, gxplex-packet-iso-iec-5259-2026-11-02/, which is the crate root. The metadata document is at the top of that directory, beside the files it describes, and not at the top of the archive.

The packet, in six parts

Contains

• Source
• Publisher
• Type
• Status, and the dates it is held with
• Verification
• Terms
• Readings with retained text — 18 readings
• Changes — 17 transitions
• Integrity — 29 leaf lines
• The conditions, in the order they are evaluated — 13 conditions

Generated

On 2026-11-02, packet version 1, against the root fixed on 2026-11-02 (Integrity).

Omitted

• the_words_that_differ
• this_records_own_prose
• any_field_that_would_characterise_a_change
• a_recomputed_root

Independently verifiable

• This row’s 29 leaf lines, each a line of the published leaf file.
• The root, which is the content of the published root file; the verification page carries the command that reduces the whole leaf file to a root.
• Class, as the publisher states it, read from: https://www.iso.org/committee/6794475/x/catalogue/

Derived

• Computed by this record, not read from a publisher: 18 digests, each over the normalised text of a reading, which hashing a source as served does not reproduce (Readings), and the series state comparable.
• A verdict for each of the 17 transitions, with word counts where a difference was measured (Changes), and the count per condition (Conditions).

Depends on external permission

• The terms this record has read for this document (Terms): licence class restricted; a quotation appears in this record: no.
• Of this row’s 17 transitions, 17 were refused by a terms condition: 17 by licence-restricted, so the comparison page publishes no words for them.
• The credit the archive’s metadata document carries for a host, where it carries one, is the one this record’s reading of that host’s terms records (the archive’s files, above).

Source

The address a request ANSWERED at is this record’s address for the row. The address it aimed at is testimony and is carried beside it, because a redirect is a publisher’s own statement about what supersedes what.

Publisher

No origin host is recorded for this row. The authority named above is the body; the host is a fact about which origin answered, and this row does not carry one.

Type

The publisher’s own words for that class, and the passage they were read from, are on the row’s page. The packet carries the address rather than a second copy of the words, so there is one place the quotation is checked against what was recorded.

Status, and the dates it is held with

These are the dates this record holds for the document’s own status. They state nothing about which products or activities the document reaches; that is a judgment, and this record does not make one.

Verification

Terms

Readings with retained text

Digests on this row: 18. With retained text: 18. Without: 0. Series state: comparable.

A digest is over the NORMALISED text of a reading, not over the bytes served: scripts, comments, navigation and page chrome are removed and tags are stripped before hashing. Hashing a source as served will not reproduce these digests. The full digest for every reading is in the packet; the column above is shortened for width.

Changes

One entry per consecutive pair of retained readings, in the order this record first saw each digest. Every entry carries a measured difference or the first condition that refused one. A refused entry was never tested against the conditions after it.

17 transition(s) between the 18 reading(s) above: 0 carry a measured difference, 0 are withheld above the word ceiling, 17 are refused by a rule, 0 differ in the digest and not in the words, and 0 could not be measured.

A difference here is a difference between two readings this record retained. It is not a statement about what the document requires, about what changed in substance, or about whether anything follows from it.

Integrity

The root is over every leaf line the record holds, not over the lines below. Reducing it needs the published file, which is served whole at the address named here together with the command that reduces it. These lines are this row's own slice of that file, copied verbatim.

What this packet does not carry

the words that differ

A count of a difference is in this packet; the words are not. They are a publisher's text, and this record checks borrowed text only on the surfaces it enumerates — a packet carrying spans under a key those checks do not read would be borrowed text nothing verifies. Each change names the comparison entry for the same pair, and says which of three is at that address: the words, where a difference was measured and is inside the word ceiling; where it is above the ceiling, the condition and the positions at which the two readings differ, with no text of the document; otherwise the same condition this entry names, with no text.

this records own prose

The row's summary and its account of an unresolved address are this archive's own voice. They are leads and not evidence, however accurate, because a faithful paraphrase is indistinguishable from evidence while remaining ours. They are published on the row's page and are not here.

any field that would characterise a change

No score, no rank, no ordering by judgment, no reading of what a change means and no word for how much of it counts. A packet is evidence taken elsewhere, and a field characterising it would be an opinion with digests attached.

a recomputed root

The integrity block states the root this record published and the leaf lines for this row. It computes no root of its own: two numbers this record produced, compared with each other, check nothing.

The conditions, in the order they are evaluated

A change names the FIRST condition that fired and was never tested against the ones after it, so a condition reading a measured zero here is not a condition this row passed. Not measured is not zero; it is the packet’s own “not reached”, and the packet states why. Three of the conditions belong to the form of the comparison that resolves two dates. Every comparison in this packet is formed from readings addressed by the key the store gives them, so those three are never evaluated here: their absence from the entries above records that they were not tested, rather than that they were tested and did not fire.

Word ceiling: 14. Where a faithful difference is longer than that, the verdict is withheld and no words are published for it: a shortened span is a fabricated measurement of what a publisher wrote, so it is withheld whole rather than cut to fit. How this record is built.
