This file serves as a formal declaration of authorship, invention, and original authorship intent for the Savepoint.Protocol project.
The Savepoint.Protocol system — including its terminology, markup syntax, semantic framing, fallback hierarchy, and design philosophy — was originally conceived, authored, and documented by Peter Salvato in 2025.
This repository constitutes the canonical record of invention.
This declaration applies to the following intellectual contributions:
- The concept of “Savepoints” as semantic cognitive anchors in reflective workflows
- The hybrid markup structure (
<session>,<savepoint>,#tags) designed for graceful degradation across AI and grep-based tooling - The multi-tier synthesis compatibility model (NotebookLM > LLM > grep)
- The framing of markup as non-synthetic, traversal-first cognitive infrastructure
- The tone, structure, and operational philosophy of the Savepoint.Protocol as a neutral cognitive scaffold, independent of any brand, company, or commercial identity
This repository is licensed under the terms specified in LICENSE.md. This declaration is not a substitute for license terms but clarifies authorship and provenance.
Savepoint.Protocol is independent of the Order of the Ætherwright and does not share naming conventions, brand language, or system dependencies. Any structural similarities reflect common authorship but do not indicate integration.
While the Savepoint.Protocol is not a commercial product, it constitutes original creative and systems work subject to copyright and IP protections under applicable law. The design, terminology, and documentation are protected accordingly.
