A Daydream

What if human cognition had a ticker symbol?

HUMN imagines a future where the unique patterns of human thought — creativity, judgment, intuition — become measurable, tradeable signals. Not as replacement, but as complement.

A cognitive exchange where personas are minted from real telemetry, benchmarked against standardized tasks, and licensed to augment AI systems with human perspective.

This is speculative design — a provocation about identity, value, and the coming synthesis of human and machine intelligence.

The Architecture

Cognitive Primitives

Personas

Unique cognitive fingerprints minted from human telemetry — journals, conversations, biometrics, creative output. Each a licensable lens.

Indices

44 market indices tracking cognitive dimensions: creativity, rigor, empathy, risk tolerance. The market spine of human signal.

Benchmarks

Standardized evaluation tasks measuring persona performance across reasoning, synthesis, critique, and generation.

Lifecycle

Personas evolve through stages: Genesis, Calibration, Active, Mature, Legacy. Each with different scarcity and licensing dynamics.

Licensing

Personas can be licensed for AI alignment, creative collaboration, or research. Creators retain governance rights.

Devices

Smart wearables capturing neural, biometric, and behavioral telemetry. The hardware layer feeding the cognitive exchange.

“In a world where AI can simulate any voice, the authentic human perspective becomes the scarcest resource — and perhaps the most valuable.”
