Question

"A governed event is an immutable semantic assertion whose validity must be independently reproducible through deterministic validation, governance evidence, and cryptographic commitment."

From that single statement, we derive:

• the ontology,

• the auditor,
• the replay engine.

They only implement the manifesto.
