 "summary_md": "AAGV is an individual IETF Internet-Draft (Experimental) defining a carrier-neutral JSON model and deterministic algorithm for validating authority graphs with declared roots, consequential sinks, normal paths, and revocation cut sets. It includes anti-vacuity rules that reject empty sink or normal-path sets, dangling references, non-dominating cuts, and non-revocable cut edges. It returns INDETERMINATE rather than closed when relevant edge state is unknown. It does not define an authorization token, discover hidden paths, or prove physical containment.",
