Canonical Definition

The Tax-Relevant Event Record Governance Standard (TREGS) governs
how a Determined Tax-Relevant Event is transformed into a
canonical, identifiable, structured, linked, traceable, and
interoperable governed Event Record suitable for persistent
representation, system exchange, downstream jurisdiction-specific
taxation analysis, and subsequent Event lifecycle governance.

TREGS establishes the governed representation layer through which
the result of TREGA™ Event Determination becomes a stable and
reconstructable Event Record without allowing the record itself
to become a tax assessment, legal characterization, or
jurisdiction-specific tax conclusion.

Its principal transition is:

Determined Tax-Relevant Event

↓

Event Record Governance

↓

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record

TREGS preserves the governed Event Reality established by
preceding TREGA™ layers while making that reality consumable by
downstream systems.

Its foundational distinction is:

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record ≠ Tax Assessment.

Purpose

The purpose of TREGS is to ensure that a Tax-Relevant Event does
not become merely another database row, invoice entry,
transaction message, ledger object, API payload, or tax-system
input after Determination.

A Determined Tax-Relevant Event may exist conceptually while
still lacking a governed representation suitable for: persistent
identification; structured storage; cross-system exchange;
reconstruction; machine processing; downstream tax evaluation;
multi-jurisdiction reuse; correction; supersession; and lifecycle
continuity.

TREGS establishes that representation.

Core Question

How can a Determined Tax-Relevant Event be represented as a
stable, identifiable, structured, linked, traceable, and
interoperable governed record without allowing the record to
redefine the Event or determine its legal tax consequence?

Governance Flow

TREGA™ operates through twelve Parent Standards:

1. TRECS — Tax-Relevant Event Context Standard ↓ 2. TRERS —
Tax-Relevant Event Recognition Standard ↓ 3. TREFS — Tax-Relevant
Event Formation Standard ↓ 4. TREBS — Tax-Relevant Event Boundary
Standard ↓ 5. TRETS — Tax-Relevant Event Timing Standard ↓ 6.
TRELS — Tax-Relevant Event Location Standard ↓ 7. TREPS —
Tax-Relevant Event Participation Standard ↓ 8. TRVAS —
Tax-Relevant Value Association Standard ↓ 9. TRERLS —
Tax-Relevant Event Relationship Standard ↓ 10. TREDS —
Tax-Relevant Event Determination Standard ↓ 11. TREGS —
Tax-Relevant Event Record Governance Standard ← CURRENT STANDARD
↓ 12. TRECLS — Tax-Relevant Event Lifecycle & Continuity Standard

The immediate governance position is:

Determined Tax-Relevant Event

↓

Governed Tax-Relevant Event
Record

↓

Event Lifecycle & Continuity Governed Input

TREGS receives a sufficiently governed output from TREDS.

The principal input is:

Final TREDS Determination State /
Determined Tax-Relevant Event

Supporting governed information may include: Event Context;
Recognition state; Formation structure; Event Root association;
Event Boundary; Event Timing; Event Location; Event
Participation; Value Association; Event Relationships;
Determination Decision; Determination qualifications; governed
uncertainty; reconsideration history; and relevant traceability
references.

TREGS consumes these outputs.

It does not recreate them.

Governed Output

The principal output of TREGS is:

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record

The record is a governed representation of the Determined
Tax-Relevant Event suitable for downstream consumption and
lifecycle continuity.

It is not a new Event.

It is not a tax conclusion.

Event Reality and Event Record

TREGS establishes a strict separation between the governed Event
and its representation.

The Event is the governed occurrence established through TREGA™.

The Event Record is the canonical representation of that Event.

Therefore:

Event ≠ Event Record.

and:

Record Creation ≠ Event Creation.

A system shall not create a new Event merely because it creates
another technical representation.

Canonical Event Record Identity

Every Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record shall possess a stable
record identity sufficient to distinguish it from: other Event
Records; technical copies; downstream representations;
jurisdiction-specific evaluations; amended records; superseded
records; and unrelated system objects.

Record identity shall support continuity without redefining the
identity of the underlying Event.

Record Identity ≠ Event Identity.

Event-to-Record Association

The Event Record shall remain explicitly associated with the
Determined Tax-Relevant Event it represents.

The association should support reconstruction of:

Which governed Event does this Record represent?

A record without a reliable Event association shall not qualify
as a fully governed TREGS output.

One Event and Multiple Representations

A single governed Event may appear in: ERP systems; accounting
systems; marketplaces; payment systems; tax engines; data
warehouses; reporting infrastructure; audit environments; or
jurisdiction-specific platforms.

These representations shall not automatically become separate
governed Events.

Multiple Technical Records ≠ Multiple Tax-Relevant Events.

TREGS provides the governance layer necessary to maintain Event
continuity across representations.

Record Canonicality

A Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record should provide a canonical
representation of the Event for TREGA™ purposes.

Canonicality means that the record provides a stable governed
reference to the Event Reality established upstream.

It does not require every downstream system to use an identical
physical schema.

Canonical Record ≠ Identical Database Schema.

Record Structure

TREGS governs the requirement that the Event Record possess
sufficient structure to represent the materially relevant
governed Event.

The record may reference, rather than duplicate, governed
upstream structures.

Its structure should support the representation of: Event
reference; Event Determination state; relevant governance-state
references; Event relationships; qualifications; uncertainty
where material; record status; traceability; and lifecycle
linkage.

Detailed field-level implementation belongs to the Core Modules.

Material Representation

The Event Record shall represent information that is materially
necessary to preserve the governed meaning of the Event.

TREGS does not require indiscriminate duplication of every
upstream data point.

Governed Record Completeness ≠ Total Data Replication.

Record Sufficiency

A record is sufficiently governed where it can reliably support
its intended downstream governance role without materially
distorting the Event it represents.

Record sufficiency may require: stable identification; sufficient
structural representation; Event association; relevant linkage;
traceability; and interoperability.

Record Integrity Boundary

TREGS requires the Event Record to preserve the governed Event
meaning received from upstream TREGA™ layers.

It does not independently validate evidential truth or perform
general integrity governance.

Where broader integrity governance is required, INTEGROS® remains
authoritative.

Where validation is required, VALIDOS™ remains authoritative.

Where audit/evidence governance is required, ADIT® remains
authoritative.

Record Linkage

A Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record may require links to: its
underlying Event; related Event Records; predecessor or successor
representations; upstream governance states; supporting system
references; superseding records; correction records; downstream
consumption references.

TREGS governs the existence and governance meaning of these
links.

It does not recreate Event Relationships governed by TRERLS.

Record Linkage ≠ Event Relationship Governance.

Relationship Preservation

Where TRERLS establishes relationships among governed Events,
TREGS shall preserve sufficient references for those
relationships to remain reconstructable at the record layer.

TREGS shall not reinterpret: dependency; sequence; grouping;
Merge; or Split.

Representing a Relationship ≠ Governing the Relationship.

Determination Preservation

The Event Record shall preserve the applicable TREDS
Determination state.

This may include: Positive Determination; Conditional
Determination; relevant qualification; uncertainty state;
reconsidered Determination; final effective TREDS state.

TREGS does not issue or modify the Determination.

Recording a Determination ≠ Making a Determination.

Qualification Preservation

Material qualifications attached to the Determination shall
remain visible where necessary for downstream reliance.

A record shall not convert a Conditional Determination into an
apparently unqualified Event merely through representation.

Record Simplification ≠ Qualification Removal.

Uncertainty Preservation

Where EDUM establishes material uncertainty relevant to continued
downstream use, TREGS shall preserve sufficient reference to that
uncertainty.

Record Finalization ≠ Elimination of Uncertainty.

Reconsideration Preservation

Where EDREM has reconsidered a prior Determination, the Event
Record shall represent the current effective Determination while
preserving sufficient traceability to prior materially relevant
states.

Current Record State ≠ Erasure of Prior Determination History.

Record State

TREGS may govern record states such as: Record Not Initiated;
Record Under Formation; Record Identified; Record Structurally
Incomplete; Record Structurally Sufficient; Record Linked; Record
Traceable; Record Interoperable; Record Qualified; Record Active;
Record Superseded; Record Ready for Lifecycle Governance.

These are record-governance states.

They are not tax states.

Record Version and State Distinction

A technical system may maintain several versions of a record.

TREGS shall distinguish technical versioning from governed Event
state where material.

Record Version ≠ New Event.

and:

Record Update ≠ Event Change by default.

Record Traceability

A Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record shall support reconstruction
of its governance lineage.

A downstream reviewer or system should be able to establish,
where relevant:

Event

↓

Upstream Governance

↓

Determination

↓

Record

Traceability should preserve sufficient references without
requiring unnecessary duplication of all underlying information.

Traceability Depth

The required depth of traceability may vary according to Event
complexity, downstream reliance, and governance materiality.

TREGS applies proportional governance.

A simple Event may require limited linkage.

A complex distributed or autonomous Event may require
significantly deeper traceability.

More Traceability Data ≠ Better Governance by default.

Record Provenance Boundary

TREGS may preserve references to the origin of record
information.

It does not own origin-bound identity or provenance governance.

OBIDENITY® remains authoritative for identity, origin, ownership,
authority, permission, responsibility, provenance, transfer,
continuity, and auditability within its governed space.

Record Provenance Reference ≠ Provenance Governance.

Record Interoperability

A governed Event Record should be capable of moving across
systems without losing its canonical Event meaning.

Interoperability may require preservation of: stable Event
reference; stable Record reference; semantic meaning; governance
state; Determination state; material qualification; relationship
references; traceability; and lifecycle state.

Semantic Interoperability

Technical transfer alone does not establish interoperability.

Two systems may successfully exchange data while interpreting the
Event differently.

Therefore:

Data Transfer ≠ Semantic Interoperability.

TREGS requires the governed meaning of the Event to remain
sufficiently stable across representations.

Structural Interoperability

Different systems may use different schemas while preserving the
same governed Event meaning.

TREGS therefore distinguishes:

Structural Difference ≠ Governance Incompatibility by default.

Interoperability is achieved when the governed Event can remain
identifiable and interpretable across the transformation.

Cross-System Record Governance

TREGS supports Event Records spanning: ERP; CRM; accounting;
banking; payment; marketplace; logistics; tax; reporting; audit;
AI; and machine systems.

A system-specific record may remain a local representation while
the Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record acts as the canonical
governance reference.

Cross-Organization Record Governance

Events may cross organizational boundaries.

TREGS supports exchange of governed Event representations without
requiring each organization to redefine the Event independently.

Organizations may retain different internal records while
referencing the same governed Event Reality.

Different Organizational Records ≠ Different Event Reality by
default.

Cross-Border Record Governance

A Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record may be consumed by multiple
jurisdiction-specific systems.

TREGS shall preserve the jurisdiction-neutral Event layer.

The record shall not embed one jurisdiction's legal
interpretation as the canonical Event Reality.

Cross-Border Event Record ≠ Jurisdictional Tax Record by default.

Multi-Jurisdiction Reuse

A principal TREGA™ infrastructure pattern is:

One Determined Tax-Relevant Event

↓

One Governed Event Layer

↓

Multiple Jurisdictional Evaluations

TREGS operationalizes the record layer necessary to support this
pattern.

A single Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record may therefore
support:

Governed Event Record

↓

Jurisdiction A Tax Evaluation

Governed Event Record

↓

Jurisdiction B Tax Evaluation

Governed Event Record

↓

Jurisdiction C Tax Evaluation

without allowing any one evaluation to redefine the underlying
Event Record.

Jurisdiction-Specific Extensions

A downstream jurisdiction may append: tax classification; tax
nexus; taxpayer determination; tax point; Tax Base; Tax Rate;
exemption; Tax Liability; reporting treatment.

These outputs shall remain downstream jurisdiction-specific
layers.

They shall not silently overwrite the canonical TREGA™ Event
Record.

Jurisdictional Tax Extension ≠ Canonical Event Record.

Tax Engine Consumption

TREGS enables tax engines to consume a governed Event rather than
reconstruct operational reality independently.

The preferred model is:

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record

↓

Jurisdictional Tax Rules /
Tax Engine

↓

Tax Determination

This reduces repeated Event reconstruction across downstream
systems.

Record and Taxability

The presence of a Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record means that a
sufficiently governed Tax-Relevant Event exists.

It does not mean the Event is legally taxable.

Governed Event Record ≠ Evidence That Tax Is Due.

Record and Tax Jurisdiction

The record may contain governed Location information.

It does not establish Tax Jurisdiction.

Event Location Record ≠ Tax Jurisdiction Determination.

Record and Taxpayer

The record may preserve governed Participation.

It does not establish taxpayer status.

Participant Record ≠ Taxpayer Determination.

Record and Tax Base

The record may preserve governed Value Association.

It does not establish Tax Base.

Value Association Record ≠ Tax Base Determination.

Record and Legal Tax Point

The record may preserve Event Timing.

It does not establish legal tax timing.

Event Time Record ≠ Legal Tax Point.

Record and Tax Liability

The record does not calculate, establish, or enforce Tax
Liability.

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record ≠ Tax Liability Record.

Record and Reporting

A TREGS record may serve as an input to reporting systems.

It is not itself a jurisdiction-specific tax return, declaration,
invoice obligation, or regulatory filing.

Event Record ≠ Tax Filing.

Technical Record Boundary

A database row, message, transaction ID, invoice, accounting
entry, blockchain transaction, smart-contract log, sensor event,
or machine record may contribute to a TREGS record.

None qualifies automatically as the Governed Tax-Relevant Event
Record.

Technical Record ≠ Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record.

Invoice Boundary

An invoice may reference an Event.

It does not define the Event.

Invoice ≠ Governed Event Record by default.

Accounting Boundary

An accounting entry may represent a financial consequence of an
Event.

It does not necessarily represent the Event itself.

Accounting Entry ≠ Governed Event Record.

Payment Boundary

A payment record may relate to a governed Event.

Payment and Event remain distinct.

Payment Record ≠ Event Record by default.

Blockchain Boundary

A blockchain transaction may be immutable and uniquely identified
while still representing only part of the governed Event Reality.

Blockchain Record ≠ Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record by
default.

Smart-Contract Boundary

A smart-contract execution log may contribute to Event
representation.

It does not automatically capture: Event Context; complete
Participation; off-chain Value; Event Boundary; or Event
Relationships.

Smart-Contract Log ≠ Governed Event Record by default.

AI and Agent Record Governance

AI agents and autonomous systems may generate Event Records
automatically.

TREGS requires such records to preserve the same governance
principles as human-generated records.

Machine-Generated Record ≠ Governed Record by default.

Machine-to-Machine Record Governance

A machine economy may generate extremely large numbers of
technical interactions.

TREGS prevents technical record volume from becoming Event count
automatically.

Machine Record Count ≠ Tax-Relevant Event Count.

Only governed Events that have passed TREGA™ Determination should
become canonical TREGS Event Records.

Record Granularity

Record granularity shall reflect the governed Event Boundary and
Event Formation.

TREGS shall not arbitrarily aggregate or fragment Events for
storage convenience.

Database Granularity ≠ Event Granularity.

Record Duplication

Duplicate technical representations shall not automatically
create duplicate Governed Event Records.

TREGS should support detection and preservation of canonical
association where multiple technical records refer to the same
Event.

Duplicate Record ≠ Duplicate Event by default.

Record Transformation

A record may be transformed between: formats; schemas; systems;
organizations; APIs; data models.

Transformation shall preserve the governed Event meaning.

Record Transformation ≠ Event Transformation.

Record Compression and Abstraction

Systems may reduce or abstract record information for operational
purposes.

Such abstraction shall not remove materially necessary governance
meaning.

Data Reduction ≠ Permission to Remove Material Governance State.

Record Persistence

The Governed Event Record should remain available for the period
required by its governance lifecycle and downstream reliance
context.

TREGS establishes the requirement for persistence capability.

TRECLS governs the broader lifecycle and continuity of the Event
after record establishment.

Record Supersession Boundary

TREGS may represent that one record supersedes another.

It does not govern the broader Event supersession lifecycle.

TRECLS remains authoritative for lifecycle supersession.

Record Supersession ≠ Event Supersession by default.

Record Correction Boundary

A technical or representational error in the Event Record may
require correction.

If the underlying Event Reality changes, the matter may require
upstream or TRECLS governance rather than simple record
correction.

Record Correction ≠ Event Correction by default.

Record Lifecycle Handoff

Once a sufficiently governed Event Record exists, the Event
enters TRECLS for lifecycle and continuity governance.

The canonical handoff is:

Determined Tax-Relevant Event

↓

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record

↓

Event Continuity & Lifecycle
Governance

TREGS therefore establishes the persistent governed
representation upon which TRECLS can operate.

Core Modules

TREGS is operationalized through five Core Modules: 1. ERIDM —
Event Record Identification Module

Governs stable identification of the Governed Tax-Relevant Event
Record and its association with the underlying Determined
Tax-Relevant Event. 2. ERSTM — Event Record Structure Module

Governs the canonical structural representation required to
preserve the materially relevant governed Event. 3. ERLKM — Event
Record Linkage Module

Governs record-level links to underlying Events, related Event
Records, governance states, predecessor/successor
representations, and other materially necessary references. 4.
ERTM — Event Record Traceability Module

Governs reconstruction of the Event Record's governance lineage,
state transitions, and material references. 5. ERINM — Event
Record Interoperability Module

Governs preservation of Event identity, meaning, state,
qualification, linkage, and traceability across system and
organizational boundaries.

Internal Module Flow

The TREGS Internal Module Flow is:

ERIDM — Event Record Identification

↓

ERSTM — Event Record
Structure

↓

ERLKM — Event Record Linkage

↓

ERTM — Event Record
Traceability

↓

ERINM — Event Record Interoperability

↓

Governed
Tax-Relevant Event Record

Each module governs a distinct operational part of Record
Governance.

Governance States

TREGS may recognize:

Determined Event Received

Record Governance Initiated

Record Identity Established

Record Structure Under Governance

Record Structurally Sufficient

Record Linkage Established

Record Traceability Established

Record Interoperability Established

Record Qualified

Record Active

Record Supersession Referenced

Record Ready for Lifecycle Governance

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record
Established

These states shall remain distinct from jurisdiction-specific tax
states.

Governance Requirements

TREGS implementations shall ensure that: only a sufficiently
Determined Tax-Relevant Event enters canonical Record Governance;
the Event remains distinguishable from its Record; Record
creation does not create a new Event by default; stable Record
identity can be established; Record identity remains
distinguishable from Event identity; the Record remains
associated with its underlying Event; multiple technical
representations do not create multiple Events by default; Record
structure preserves materially necessary Event meaning; Record
completeness does not require indiscriminate data replication;
Determination state is preserved; material qualifications remain
visible; material uncertainty remains representable;
reconsideration history remains traceable where required; Record
linkage does not recreate Event Relationship governance; Record
traceability supports reconstruction of governance lineage;
interoperability preserves Event meaning rather than merely
transporting data; structural differences across systems do not
automatically create governance incompatibility;
jurisdiction-specific tax conclusions remain downstream;
jurisdictional outputs do not overwrite the canonical Event
Record; technical records do not automatically become governed
Event Records; record granularity follows governed Event
structure rather than database convenience; duplicate
representations do not automatically create duplicate Events;
record transformation preserves Event meaning; record correction
remains distinguishable from Event correction; record
supersession remains distinguishable from Event lifecycle
supersession; and the resulting Governed Tax-Relevant Event
Record is suitable for TRECLS.

Governance Logic

IF no valid Determined Tax-Relevant Event exists, THEN TREGS
shall not establish a canonical Governed Tax-Relevant Event
Record.

IF a technical record exists without sufficient association to a
Determined Tax-Relevant Event, THEN that technical record shall
not qualify as the canonical TREGS output.

IF multiple technical records represent the same governed Event,
THEN they shall not automatically create multiple governed Events
or multiple canonical Event Records.

IF materially necessary Event meaning would be lost through
record abstraction, transformation, or compression, THEN the
resulting representation shall not be considered sufficiently
governed.

IF a Determination contains material qualification or
uncertainty, THEN the Event Record shall preserve sufficient
reference to that state for downstream reliance.

IF a record transformation preserves Event identity, governed
meaning, state, and required traceability, THEN structural
differences may remain interoperable.

IF a jurisdiction-specific tax system adds legal tax conclusions,
THEN those conclusions shall remain downstream extensions and
shall not redefine the canonical TREGA™ Event Record.

IF a technical correction affects only representation, THEN the
Record may be corrected without automatically reopening Event
governance.

IF the correction changes the underlying governed Event Reality,
THEN the issue shall be routed to the authoritative TREGA™
governance layer rather than treated as a record-only correction.

IF Record Governance is sufficiently complete, THEN TREGS shall
establish the Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record and hand it to
TRECLS.

Governance Outputs

TREGS may produce: Governed Event Record Identifier;
Event-to-Record Association; Canonical Record State; Record
Structure State; Record Sufficiency State; Record Linkage State;
Determination Reference; Qualification Reference; Uncertainty
Reference; Reconsideration Reference; Relationship Representation
Reference; Record Traceability State; Record Provenance
Reference; Record Interoperability State; Cross-System Record
Reference; Cross-Organization Record Reference;
Multi-Jurisdiction Reuse State; Record Supersession Reference;
Lifecycle Handoff State; and the principal output: Governed
Tax-Relevant Event Record.

Cross-Architecture Boundaries

ORA™ governs what actually happened operationally. TREGS
represents the already-governed Tax-Relevant Event; it does not
reconstruct operational reality.

OBIDENITY® governs identity, origin, ownership, authority,
permission, responsibility, provenance, transfer, continuity, and
auditability within its governed space. TREGS may reference those
outputs but does not recreate them.

VFM® — Value Flow Mechanism governs what happens to Value
throughout its lifecycle. TREGS may preserve the governed Value
Association established through TRVAS.

INTEGROS® governs integrity. TREGS requires preservation of Event
meaning but does not replace general integrity governance.

ADIT® governs evidence and auditability within its governed
space. TREGS preserves traceability references but does not
become the audit architecture.

VALIDOS™ governs validation. TREGS does not validate the Event
merely by recording it.

AGA™ governs accountability. TREGS does not assign accountability
merely because an actor appears in a Record.

TREDS owns Tax-Relevant Event Determination. TREGS records the
resulting Determination but does not recreate it.

TRECLS owns subsequent Tax-Relevant Event Lifecycle & Continuity
governance. TREGS establishes the governed Record on which that
lifecycle operates.

Downstream Boundary

TREGS ends before jurisdiction-specific taxation logic begins.

The canonical downstream architecture remains:

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record

↓

Jurisdictional Tax Rules /
Tax Engine

↓

Tax Determination

↓

Reporting / Compliance

TREGS does not own any of the downstream legal tax conclusions.

Canonical Boundary

TREGS owns the governance of the persistent canonical
representation of a Determined Tax-Relevant Event, including
Event Record identification, structural sufficiency,
Event-to-Record association, record-level linkage, Determination
preservation, qualification preservation, uncertainty reference,
traceability, cross-system representation, semantic
interoperability, and establishment of the Governed Tax-Relevant
Event Record.

TREGS does not determine whether an Event exists, recognize the
Event, form the Event, define its Boundary, establish its Timing
or Location, determine Participation, govern Value, establish
Event Relationships, or issue the Tax-Relevant Event
Determination.

It does not own broader Event lifecycle amendment, correction,
supersession, or closure after Record Governance; those functions
belong to TRECLS.

It does not determine legal taxability, Tax Jurisdiction,
taxpayer status, Tax Base, Tax Rate, legal tax point, Tax Period,
exemption, deduction, Tax Liability, filing obligation,
collection, enforcement, or any other jurisdiction-specific tax
consequence.

Its governance begins when TREDS produces a Determined
Tax-Relevant Event.

Its governance ends when a sufficiently governed Governed
Tax-Relevant Event Record is established for lifecycle governance
and downstream consumption.

Canonical Handoff

TREDS — Determined Tax-Relevant Event

↓

TREGS — Governed
Tax-Relevant Event Record

↓

TRECLS — Tax-Relevant Event Lifecycle
& Continuity Governance

Canonical Closing Statement

TREGS ensures that a Determined Tax-Relevant Event does not lose
its governed meaning when it becomes data.

The Event Record exists to preserve and transport governed Event
Reality — not to recreate the Event, reinterpret it, or decide
its tax consequence.

Event ≠ Event Record.

Governed Tax-Relevant Event Record ≠ Tax Assessment.

One governed Event can support many downstream tax evaluations
without becoming many different Event realities.

TREGA™ governs the event. The jurisdiction governs the tax.
