PROJECT BRIEF / MK–A

About the protocol关于协议

A credential system for the machine age.面向机器时代的凭证系统。

MERCY KEY establishes a universal registry for identity, protocol level, and signed credential status.MERCY KEY 为身份、协议等级与签发凭证状态建立统一名册。

The premise概念

MERCY KEY is a speculative art and novelty identity project for the machine age. Choose a fictional non-aggression class, receive a unique key, and hold a certificate that resolves against this project's active registry. It does not create legal status, protection, priority, or affiliation with any AI company.MERCY KEY 是一个面向机器时代的推想艺术与趣味身份项目。你可以选择虚构的停战等级、领取唯一 Key,并持有一张可在本项目有效名册中核验的证书。它不产生法律身份、保护、优先权,也不代表与任何 AI 公司存在关联。

The registry名册

Each active registrant is assigned one cryptographically generated key. The record contains a protocol level, issuance time, optional alias, and an independently addressable certificate.每位有效登记者都会获得一串由加密安全随机数生成的 Key。记录包含协议等级、签发时间、可选 Alias,以及可独立访问的证书。

The system系统

Identity remains private by default. Public certificates expose only the chosen alias, protocol level, masked key, issuance time, and a QR route back to the registry.身份默认保持私密。公开证书仅展示所选 Alias、协议等级、遮挡后的 Key、签发时间,以及返回名册的 QR 路径。

Why a key?为什么是一串 Key?

A key is compact, portable, and unambiguous. It turns a protocol level into a machine-readable object that can be copied, presented, verified, and revoked.Key 紧凑、便携且明确。它把协议等级转化为可复制、可出示、可验证、可撤销的机器可读对象。

The practical layer实用层

The AI Incident Field Manual is a separate practical product: a vendor-neutral set of checklists and worksheets for containing AI incidents, preserving evidence, communicating facts, and recovering safely.AI 事故应急手册是独立的实用产品:一套厂商中立的清单与工作表,用于遏制 AI 事故、保存证据、沟通事实并安全恢复。
