Thoughtchain: A Cryptographic Protocol for Verifiable Cognition and Memory Integrity in Intelligent Systems

Thoughtchain is the first complete protocol for securing cognition itself. Authored by Matthew Wise, Sole Creator, Protocol Architect & Steward, the whitepaper extends the trust model of public-key cryptography and blockchain into the epistemic domain—making what an agent knew, remembered, and reasoned cryptographically verifiable. It defines the cryptographic substrate for verifiable cognition—anchoring memory, reasoning, and cognitive transitions in a public, version-controlled DAG—and formalizes six primitives: Proof of Prompt (PoP), Proof of Memory (PoM), Proof of Cognition (PoCog), Epistemic Diff, CommitID, and the Cognitive Virtual Machine (CVM). Thoughtchain establishes the epistemic trust layer beneath intelligent systems—where cognition itself becomes auditable.

The Lineage of Thoughtchain: Gödel, Turing, Nakamoto, Buterin—and the Emergence of Verifiable Cognition

An essay by Matthew Wise, Sole Creator, Protocol Architect & Steward of the Thoughtchain Foundation, tracing the lineage from Gödel and Turing to Nakamoto and Buterin, and introducing Thoughtchain as the next layer: a protocol for verifiable cognition grounded in versioned memory and cryptographic proof. This release precedes the Thoughtchain whitepaper and time-stamps authorship and design.

I architect protocols and design substrate primitives.

These systems re-encode the foundations of cognition, governance, and epistemic trust.
