An API key tells a provider which credential made the call.
A historical Article 50 commentary connecting AI disclosure with evidence for counterparty continuity across Temporal AI Presence, Beacon, VXCX, and experience artifacts.
People keep asking whether AI will make humanity better or worse.
A reflection on AI as an amplifier of human action situated within place, law, jurisdiction, and social context.
The AI System Is Not the Model
An architectural distinction between replaceable AI substrates and the slower continuity, authority, state, and provenance core.
Entity vs. Profile: A Witness-Root Custody Criterion for Persistent Digital Entities v0.1.1
A technical note proposing witness-root custody as the criterion distinguishing persistent digital entities from externally rooted profiles.
How to install c
A practical local-first installation path toward a governed local c-node candidate with local memory, bounded agents, oracle routing, witness logs, and human-controlled stop and freeze paths.
I think we are misnaming what is happening in AI.
An argument that AI's bubble phase will leave behind local, private, governed infrastructure of continuity rather than model-centric AGI.
A good AI should be difficult to manipulate - even by its owner
A note that trustworthy long-lived AI should resist manipulation, including by the human who owns the hardware.
For years, the AI race was framed the same way
A note that the AI systems people value most will be the ones that reduce cognitive overhead and stay coherent beside a human over time.
AI is slowly outgrowing the old language used to describe it.
A note that AI is moving from a product story to an industrial stack, and then toward a bounded coexistence layer between humans and infrastructure.
Beacon Profile v0.1: Why AI Entities Need Recognition, Not Just Identity
A note introducing Beacon Profile v0.1 as a cross-layer recognition profile for long-lived digital entities based on cryptographic anchoring, behavioral continuity, and witness-backed challengeability.
When tokens become electricity, "terms of use" become physics
A note that machine-paced agent loops turn token access into infrastructure, demanding local continuity, budgets, and revocable cloud dependencies.
Experience Economy: why verified experience will outprice "raw intelligence"
A note that verified experience becomes economically valuable only when it compresses uncertainty and provably reduces cost and risk.
Most AI talk is still stuck on capability: "What can it do?"
A note that AI systems need a personal buffer architecture that preserves human agency instead of replacing it at machine speed.
Visual Experience Capsules (VXCX) - Why "what you see" matters more than pixels
A note introducing VXCX v0.1 as an L2 protocol for sharing visual experience capsules without transmitting raw pixels by default.
