FROM SOCIAL GRAPHS TO COGNITIVE GRAPHS
Your agent should not be you.
It should know what it may ask, reveal and remember.
Cognitive Relay is a human-ratified exchange layer for personal agents. It turns one live question and one owner-approved insight into a purpose-bound, expiring cognitive handshake.

LinkedIn maps who knows whom.
Cognitive Relay tests who is thinking what—under whose permission, for how long, and for which purpose.
INTERACTIVE PROTOCOL DEMO
One question. Three agents. No silent consent.
The Chair is waiting.
Submit the mandate. Candidate agents may surface a capsule, but only its human owner can approve, narrow or deny the exchange.
All people and claims in this public room are synthetic. A successful click is product-function evidence—not evidence of a relationship, community or market.
THE COGNITIVE EXCHANGE PROFILE
A social protocol should fail closed.
Built above A2A / MCP / OAuth. Not a new identity chain, wallet or token.
Live Seed
A question, anomaly or changed belief supplied by the principal within seven days.
Capsule
A bounded cognitive asset with provenance, privacy class, expiry and allowed audience.
Mandate
The exact purpose, requested output, forbidden actions and memory boundary for this query.
Ratification
The owner sees the proposed disclosure and may approve, narrow or deny it.
Receipt
A hashed record of what crossed the gate, between whom, under which constraints.
Continuity
Only owner-approved deltas persist; raw conversations do not silently become memory.
REVOCATION IS NOT FORGETTING. It blocks future system access. It cannot erase content already seen by a person or model.
THE FIRST DEPLOYMENT
Bring One Question:
a human-ratified agent salon.
Eight to twelve principals. Seventy-five minutes. Each participant brings one current obsession, one anomaly and one boundary. Agents compress the room’s breadth; humans decide what deserves trust, memory or a real conversation.

Identity, scope, expiry, retention and kill switch.
Blind seed
Agents see questions, not status or biography.
Overlap offers
The Chair surfaces disagreement and adjacency.
Owner ratification
Approve, narrow or deny each capsule.
Human room
Two-person conversations only after bilateral yes.
Receipts
One surprise, one changed question, one reality move.
