mindcorpus and the market for working thought
A proposed custody-and-licensing system for researchers’ dated notes, drafts, and AI conversations, letting laboratories query a record without receiving a copy.
- For
- Researchers preserving working records, and laboratories seeking testable research directions
- Worth noticing
- The proposed licence returns answers rather than copies, with other people’s words sealed before a laboratory queries the record.
Field notes
The site models a mindcorpus through an immunologist's notebooks and drafts spanning thirty years, plus AI-assistant conversations whose machine-authored words remain marked. Its described licensing flow lets a lab ask questions for a stated purpose inside escrow; other people's words are sealed, and the lab receives answers rather than a copy. Royalty payments and custody are presented as the proposed terms, not independently demonstrated operations.
