The Mandatory Computational Graph Integrity & Attestation Layer (MCGIAL) represents a fundamental shift in digital trust infrastructure. As complex Artificial Intelligence models transition from being mere analytical tools to becoming primary decision-making engines for global economies and critical utilities, the vulnerability of systemic risk has migrated away from data exfiltration towards computational manipulation. MCGIAL is the resulting mandatory utility layer designed to cryptographically verify not just the input or output of a computation, but every single algorithmic step taken between them—the 'computational graph' itself. Its implementation requires continuous, verifiable attestation across all high-stakes digital interactions.
