Key concepts
These definitions are used consistently across the documentation. Where a concept is not yet implemented, its status says so. Status labels are defined on the Current status page.
The ecosystem
SENEX Intelligent Chain
The ecosystem as a whole: owners, their agents, governed data, computation, proofs, and the network that coordinates them. It is not one agent or one model. "SENEX" is the short name.
SENEXIC
The company and brand behind SENEX, and the name of its sites: senexic.com, senexic.io, and this documentation.
AIA
AIA — Artificial Intelligent Assistant: the owner's personal agent. AIA runs on the owner's devices and works with governed local context. Status: Working foundation. See AIA: local-first personal intelligence.
AIA Chain
An early, browser-based research prototype that tested coordination between participants. It is retired and is not the current AIA product. See the AIA Chain research archive.
GENOME
The collective intelligence expected to form from connected agents, governed data, computation, proofs, and outcomes. Today it exists only as a local graph projection; it is not a running network mind. Status: Research direction. See GENOME: collective intelligence research.
Recursive governed access
One owner's agent may ask another owner's agent, which may ask others. Every hop is governed by the owner of the data at that hop. Status: Research direction. See Proof of Data.
Neurolink
A governed path that one owner grants to another for a bounded purpose. It is a trust relationship, not a brain-computer interface. Status: Working foundation for grants between owners on one machine.
Proof and value
Proof of Data
Evidence that a piece of owner-governed data was used in a computation, and what it contributed. The research thesis behind it is on the Proof of Data page. Status: V1-testnet target; today the records run locally on one machine.
Proof of Computation
Evidence that a declared computation was performed, checked by re-execution. Status: V1-testnet target; today it runs locally on one machine.
Proof of Intel
The combination of Proof of Data and Proof of Computation into one record of useful contribution. The name describes a research objective; it does not mean that a public consensus mechanism or reward formula is deployed.
ASHA
The unit SENEX uses for contribution accounting. In the software today ASHA is simulated and has no monetary value; on V1-testnet it will be test-only. Any live use depends on legal, security, economic, and operational readiness. Status: Research direction. See ASHA and contribution accounting.
Network and release
Permissioned contribution chain
The chain V1 targets: admitted validators record accepted contributions and settle them after finality. Open, permissionless admission is a separate later decision. Status: V1-testnet target. See Intelligent Chain: coordination and accountability.
V1-testnet
The production candidate. It runs the complete V1 product and protocol with test-only ASHA and must pass the G0 to G13 qualification gates. Status: V1-testnet target.
V1
The planned production network, launched from a fresh genesis only after V1-testnet evidence and external review. Nothing migrates from V1-testnet. Status: External validation required. See Network transition and upgrade policy.
Milestones M0 to M5
The ordered path to V1: trust foundations, the Proof of Data kernel, open research, private beta, V1-testnet, and V1. SENEX is at M0 today. See the Roadmap.
Wallet and devices
Wallet
One private owner identity. The wallet, not a login, is the source of ownership. See Wallet, devices, and contribution roles.
Device key
Each device has its own key and a credential signed by the wallet. Devices can be revoked individually.
Wallet account commitment
The value that appears in signed and public records instead of the raw wallet identifier.
Contribution roles
request, approve, data, compute, validate, block_propose, and relay. A role is a routing declaration, not a permission grant; the network accepts a contribution only after its proof verifies.
