Cohere certifies, holds, governs, and delivers KPPs — Kernels of Personal Perspective. Digital representations of how a person sees, reacts, and expresses themselves in a defined context. Approved by the person. Scoped to a use. Revocable at any time.
A person is not one totalizing replica. A person is a sports fan with their friends, a professional in the boardroom, a parent at the kitchen table, a teacher in the classroom. Cohere is built on that truth. Every KPP is a single context — authored, approved, and scoped by the person it represents. One person can have many. Each one stays under their consent.
The original idea: two people who can't always be in the same room, who want to share moments their schedules can't give them. Mutual consent. Both KPPs approved. A scene generated and watched on both ends. Enter: Cohere. The trust layer that makes these ethical standards possible.
She approved her KPP. You approved yours. Cohere held both agreements and made the token. Neither of you was replaced. You just got to share a moment that wouldn't have happened any other way.
Cohere does not create KPPs. Cohere does not build the experiences that use them. Cohere does one thing, in four parts: it makes KPPs trustworthy enough to use, and pays the people behind them when they're used.
The signed agreement is the spine.
Cohere holds the agreement that says the KPP is real, approved, and authorized for a specific scope. Provenance, ownership, and revocation terms travel with every KPP. Not "this is the person." Just — this is approved by the person.
The neutral vault.
The authoritative version of the KPP and its full version history live with Cohere — not inside whatever vendor built it. Version, scope, consent, owner identity, audit trail. Neutral governance is the infrastructure advantage.
Tokens, not files.
A downstream app never receives a KPP file. It receives a time-limited, scope-limited, non-transferable token to use a KPP for a defined session. The token expires. The authorization does not remain indefinitely.
The owner gets paid every time.
When a KPP is used, Cohere processes the fee, takes a small infrastructure margin, and routes the rest to the owner. Pennies per delivery, across millions of deliveries. Every line is on the ledger.
A KPP is contextual. The same person can have many — one for each shape of their life that someone might want to share a moment with.
Long-distance partners sharing a scene. A best friend's KPP loaded into a watch party. Family members sharing a moment across time zones. Mutual consent, narrow scope, revocable any time.
Estate-approved historical KPPs. A fan pays for a scoped slice of time — a two-minute conversation, an authorized football chat. They keep the scene. They rewatch it. The estate or celebrity earns on every delivery.
Procurement evaluator KPPs. Board-member KPPs. Customer-skeptic KPPs. Practice the meeting before the meeting. The KPPs surface perspective friction without making the decision.
Family-story KPPs governed by the estate. Historical figures cleared by rights holders. Educational scenarios with labels that say what they are — and what they are not.
