Compute is becoming its own customer.
In Answerable Computing, the party relying on machine work can retain the transaction record and evaluate the evidence under its own policy.
Glyph Standard develops Bulla, its shipped system for Answerable Computing. ActionReceipt is Bulla's stable transaction format.
Bulla
Receipts for Agents.
Applications use Bulla to create ActionReceipts for consequential machine transactions. Receivers retain the records, verify them under their own policies, and reconcile them with what they observed.

Research
Glyph studies how transaction evidence is preserved, evaluated, revised, and tied to later decisions or receiver-owned effects. Current mechanisms and experiments are repository-source research; they are not capabilities of the released Bulla package.
Project-operated research · W0 independent witnesses · D0 external reliance decisions · no real settlement.
Retained-evidence result
One record. Three judgments.
The transaction record remains byte-identical while new evidence changes the computed judgment. Fault evidence, correction authority, and recourse authority remain separate.
