Tacit Tessera: A Register for Machine-Readable Knowledge
A detailed register for recording the provenance, licensing, identity, and usage of knowledge passed from people into machines.
Field notes
Tacit Tessera organizes its proposed system around a nine-link chain: source, record, register, seal, licence, cover, use, receipt, and settlement. The homepage gives the example identifier CH1001CV17 and describes a ten-character number issued once and never reused, with a Card, tile, edition, and checkable seal. Four audience paths cover people supplying knowledge, people seeking it, builders, and those governing machine access. The extract explains the model in detail, but does not confirm which registry operations are live.
