The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

we present Flow of Truth, the first proactive framework focusing on temporal forensics in I2V generation... Experiments show that Flow of Truth generalizes across commercial and open-source I2V models, substantially improving temporal forensics performance.

C2weakest assumption

A forensic signature exists that can evolve consistently with the generation process, which is inherently a creative transformation rather than a deterministic reconstruction.

C3one line summary

Flow of Truth introduces a learnable forensic template and template-guided flow module that follows pixel motion to enable temporal tracing in image-to-video generation.
