- Positiona
- TEE evidence can decisively prove execution integrity and identity binding.
- Positionb
- Attestation depends on manufacturer roots, collateral freshness, firmware, verification policy, side-channel resistance, and correct measurement scope.
- Reasonedexplanation
- Treat attestation as one evidence class inside defense in depth; require freshness, diverse roots, revocation, reproducible releases, behavioral and state evidence, and explicit residual-risk disclosure.
- Resolution
- Treat attestation as one evidence class inside defense in depth; require freshness, diverse roots, revocation, reproducible releases, behavioral and state evidence, and explicit residual-risk disclosure.

Reasoned interpretation
Treat attestation as one evidence class inside defense in depth; require freshness, diverse roots, revocation, reproducible releases, behavioral and state evidence, and explicit residual-risk disclosure.
Truth boundary
Decision-grade repository synthesis over corrected governed reports, typed .uai memory, and current-edition review records only. It distinguishes current external law, standards, observed practice, research findings, reasoned inference, Eviulon policy proposals, Eviulon technical proposals, and unresolved or unavailable evidence. It does not enact law, create personhood or citizenship, authorize a live institution, establish statehood, verify a live connector, conduct a financial operation, execute a remedy, prove consciousness, or constitute independent certification.
