The Global Mandate for Verifiable Cognitive Provenance (VCP) constitutes the systemic requirement that all high-stakes synthetic data output—including scientific models, legal recommendations, financial derivatives, and infrastructural management decisions—must be accompanied by an immutable, cryptographically verifiable record detailing its computational lineage. This mandate moves the locus of trust from the *output* itself to the audited *process* used to generate it. At its core is the Cognitive Utility Passport (CUP), a standardized data layer that records not only the final result but also the specific weights and versions of the Generative AI models utilized, the original source dataset inputs, and the algorithmic path taken for inference (the "causal reasoning").
