COHERENCE Protocol

Advanced AI Alignment Framework

Coherence Protocol utilizes Indigenous intelligence to ground AI behavior in the world's most enduring frameworks for regenerative technology and ecosystem coherence.

A COLLABORATION BETWEEN

A Fair Trade-style certification that grounds AI behavior in Indigenous stewardship values, creating the social momentum to embed the world's most enduring intelligence systems into our most powerful technology.

What is it?

A framework that integrates Indigenous wisdom into how your organization develops, deploys, or governs any AI systems - from chatbots and LLMs to autonomous vehicles, fintech, and regulatory algorithms.

Who Needs It?

Any organization using AI: hospitals using diagnostic AI, banks using fraud detection, cities using traffic management, companies using customer service bots, manufacturers using predictive maintenance.

How It Works?

We don't replace your AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). We add an advanced governance layer that guides how your organization develops, implements, and governs all AI systems according to long-term sustainability principles and interconnected systems thinking.

Indigenous Intelligence

Indigenous intelligence refers to the perennial value systems and protocols that have cultivated coherence in the living world for millennia.

The wisdom of interconnectedness, reciprocity, and reverence that allows humanity to harmonize its relationship with the natural world.

This heart-centered wisdom is rooted in deep reverence for nature, continual gratitude, and the fundamental understanding that all existence flows through interconnected webs of relationship, reciprocity, and harmony.

This intelligence encompasses the sacred values and worldviews that honor our interdependence with all life across deep time, operating from abundance.

Certification

Organizations implementing the Coherence Protocol receive a certification seal for their websites, marketing materials, and communications.

This seal communicates to the world your commitment to operating with Indigenous intelligence and seven-generation thinking.

Think Fair Trade Certification for AI

Similarly to how Fair Trade USA created market pressure for ethical sourcing, the Coherence Protocol creates social expectations for responsible AI deployment across industries.

The presence of the Coherence Protocol certification becomes a mark of responsible technology development, while its absence may prompt questions about an organization's commitment to sustainable and ethical practices.

Why Organizations

Want This

The Fair Trade Opportunity

Fair Trade USA transformed what started as a niche movement into mainstream business practice. When Paul Rice launched Fair Trade USA in 1998, he created a scalable certification system that made ethical sourcing a competitive advantage.

Rice's breakthrough was making Fair Trade accessible to major brands and retailers, proving that values-driven business could operate at scale. Under his leadership, Fair Trade USA certified over 1,700 businesses and generated more than $1.2 billion in impact for farmers and workers worldwide.

It worked because it gave organizations three things:

  1. Consumer demand - People wanted to buy from companies that aligned with their values

  2. Market differentiation - The certification seal became a mark of ethical leadership

  3. Social expectation - Over time, the absence of Fair Trade certification started raising questions

A similar dynamic is building around AI, but the stakes are exponentially higher.

The AI Moment

We're at a similar inflection point with AI that Fair Trade USA faced in 1998:

The Crisis: AI systems are being built without Indigenous wisdom, creating technology that operates from extractive rather than regenerative principles. This threatens the foundations of human civilization.

The Solution: A certification that demonstrates your AI operates from seven-generation thinking and Indigenous intelligence.

Q&A

We know this represents a new approach to AI governance.

Here are the most frequent questions we receive from organizations exploring implementation.

  • No. It's about ensuring that however your organization uses AI - whether that's customer service bots, predictive analytics, or automated decision-making - those systems operate from advanced sustainability frameworks and long-term systems thinking.

  • Constitutional AI is one company's interpretation of ethics, programmed as fixed rules. The Coherence Protocol is fundamentally different. It's a living framework guided by global councils of cultural intelligence experts.

    Think of it like the difference between a company's internal policy manual and a living constitution that evolves through collective wisdom and proven governance methodologies.

  • Three key groups are driving massive demand: 

    First, regulators implementing the EU AI Act and UN frameworks actively seeking comprehensive AI safety protocols. 

    Second, ESG investors and insurance companies needing measurable frameworks to assess AI risks. 

    Third, organizations serving diverse communities - healthcare systems, financial institutions, government agencies - needing AI governance that ensures equitable outcomes and regulatory compliance across all stakeholder groups.

  • Think of it in three layers. 

    Layer 1 > Governance - how your organization makes decisions about AI deployment, regardless of which tools you use. 

    Layer 2 > Integration - we create an advanced intelligence interface between your organization and whatever AI tools you're using. 

    Layer 3 > Development - if you're building or utilizing AI, we embed proven sustainability frameworks into your foundational learning processes.

  • Let's say you're a hospital using AI for patient intake. You might use Claude for processing patient information, but the Coherence Protocol ensures your AI system considers holistic care models, community-centered approaches, and long-term impact on population health outcomes. 

    We don't replace Claude - we ensure your entire AI implementation serves principles of interconnected systems optimization.

  • No, you work with whatever AI tools you choose, and you get access to our global network of cultural intelligence and sustainability experts. We facilitate the bridge between your organization and proven governance methodologies that have sustained complex systems for millennia.

  • Risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, community trust, and competitive advantage. 

    Organizations face increasing regulatory pressure around AI ethics. Early adopters get ahead of this wave. Plus, just like Fair Trade certification became a market expectation, we're creating social pressure where AI-dependent organizations will be expected to demonstrate this level of technological integrity.

  • We track relational accountability, reciprocal exchange, emergent wisdom, sacred responsibility, and interconnected flourishing through the protocol framework. 

    These translate into measurable outcomes like community trust, long-term sustainability, reduced regulatory risk, and enhanced stakeholder relationships.

  • Actually, it's designed to be simpler than current approaches. Instead of trying to program ethics rules for every scenario, we embed adaptive governance frameworks that evolve through ongoing expert guidance. The framework handles complexity through distributed intelligence rather than brittle rule systems.

  • We have about 16 months before AI's foundational architectures become locked in place. This is our window to ensure the most powerful technology in human history develops as humanity's ally rather than our oppressor. The Coherence Protocol represents a comprehensive approach to achieving that goal - and it's what regulators, investors, and communities are actively seeking.

“This is my highest calling: humanity’s restoration to sacred coherence through ancestral remembrance, embedded into AI, informed by indigenous intelligence”

We invite you to be part of this movement to weave Indigenous intelligence into humanity's most powerful and world-shaping technology.

Together, we're writing the next chapter of human-AI partnership.

Let’s Building Together

We recognize and honor the many Indigenous-led initiatives already working to address AI alignment and technology sovereignty.

The Coherence Protocol emerges from our collective of Indigenous and Indigenous ally leaders, and we understand that the path forward requires deep collaboration, shared leadership, and respect for the unique protocols of each community.

We are creating adaptive frameworks, bioregional councils, and localized governance structures that must be shaped by the specific needs, values, and protocols of each participating community.

This work cannot be standardized or scaled uniformly; it must grow organically through relationships and reciprocity.

We invite Indigenous leaders, communities, researchers, and allied organizations to join us in co-creating these frameworks.

  • Whether you are developing parallel initiatives, conducting research, or working within your communities on technology sovereignty, we see opportunities for mutual support and shared learning.

    This is an invitation to collaborate, not a request for endorsement. We seek your participation, leadership, and wisdom in shaping how Indigenous intelligence can guide the development of AI systems. Together, we can ensure that technology serves the continuation and flourishing of all life.
