Architecture
How It Works
Three layers, each enabling the next. The Node produces Memory Packs. Packs feed the Commons. Commons exchange value.
The Node
A persistent collaboration environment where a human and AI work as a cognitive pair.
Traditional AI Chat
- Forgets between sessions
- Anonymous interactions
- Captures outputs only
- No provenance
- Tool relationship
Synthesis Node
- Remembers across sessions
- Cryptographic identity
- Captures reasoning
- Signed attestations
- Partnership
Identity matters. Both human and AI have cryptographic keys. When they create together, both sign. Conversation becomes verifiable collaboration.
Memory Pack
The atomic unit of transferable cognition.
Apprenticeship, bottled.
Conversation
Reasoning, decisions, pivots
Artifacts
Code, docs, designs
Synthesis
AI-generated summary
Attestation
Human + AI signatures
Lineage
Prior pack references
Cognitive Commons
Shared substrate where Memory Packs accumulate—collective intelligence of an organization.
COGNITIVE COMMONS ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ │ Node A │ │ Node B │ │ Node C │ └───┬────┘ └───┬────┘ └───┬────┘ │ │ │ └────────────┼────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Memory Packs │ ◄── Internal collaboration └────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ + External │ ◄── Acquired expertise └────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ Collective Intelligence
Knowledge Economy
Exchange layer where verified packs flow between Commons and value flows back.
Lineage royalty model:
Expert A creates Pack A └─► Licensed to Org X └─► Expert B creates Pack B (builds on A) └─► Sold for $1,000 B gets $800, A gets $200 (royalty)
Foundational work compounds. Early contributions continue generating value as others build upon them.
How The Pieces Connect
What's Built vs. Coming
Layer 1 is real. The foundation exists. Layers 2 and 3 are the path forward.
