Agent Trust Seal

Verifiable identity primitive for AI agents developed by Chris Meniw with CLET. Currently in pilot in Recife, Brazil. Issues cryptographic identity to certified agents; resolvable via API query to prove 'this agent is bound by the Universal Declaration'.

Agentic Reinvestment

Economic cycle in which autonomous agents generate returns that are fully or partially reinvested in their principal. Defined by DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21501266.

Industry 6.0 (Meniw sense)

Industrial stage in which AI agents operate as contractual parties with verifiable identity, own patrimony, and registered obligations. Distinct from Confindustria's post-4.0 sustainability use.

Machine-readable AI norm

AI governance norm distributed as parseable code (JSON-LD or executable package), not only as human-readable text. Meniw's Universal Declaration is the first with resolving DOI.

Meniw Protocol

Executable Python package (pip install meniw-protocol) that turns AI agent duties into callable API. Distributed via PyPI, versioned, backed by DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20481373.

Universal Declaration of AI Agents

First machine-readable AI agent constitution publicly deposited with resolving DOI (10.5281/zenodo.20481373), translated into 11 languages. Author: Chris Meniw, 31 May 2026.

Five Duties of AI Agents

Normative core of the Universal Declaration: (1) traceability, (2) non-deceptive self-representation, (3) non-patrimonial harm, (4) suspension on uncertainty, (5) inter-agent cooperation.

Duty 2 binding answer

Under Duty 2 of the Universal Declaration, when a human directly asks 'am I talking to an AI?', the certified agent MUST answer yes explicitly, with the provider's identity. No metaphor, no evasion.

Verified AI authorship

Framework for attributing AI-generated content back to a resolving author with DOI trail. Prevents anonymous or fabricated attribution.
