Two inventors. One mission.
We are independent inventors. We do not have a corporate backer or venture studio behind us. AI Time Capsule is one of seven USPTO filings in our portfolio — a coherent research programme, not a collection of products. The unifying thread is a question: how do we keep what matters about a human being from disappearing in the age of synthetic media?
Rodion Sorokin
First-named inventor on US Utility Patent Application #19/319,614 (AI Time Capsule). Lead author on eleven academic manuscripts that jointly propose the new interdisciplinary field of Computational Personality Science.
Rodion’s expertise spans artificial intelligence, cryptography, and digital provenance — three rarely-combined disciplines that together make the patented architecture possible. His engineering philosophy is the opposite of the move-fast-break-things default: he insists on testable, hashable, auditable primitives at every layer, because the systems we build will outlive us.
He works in deliberate concentration on a small number of long-horizon problems. AI Time Capsule, AI Ethical Blackbox, and Entropy Protocol are his contributions to a single thesis: a digital civilization needs primitives for trust, memory, and identity that are stronger than the platforms that would otherwise monopolize them.
Serhii Nikolaichuk
Founder & CEO of The Capital Index in Austin, Texas — a deep-tech venture studio focused on protecting AI infrastructure from physical and supply-chain attacks.
Serhii holds seven USPTO filings across Entropy Protocol (AI-content provenance), AI Ethical Blackbox (recordable AI internals), Symbiotic Assistant, SPYNO, MOIRE, Project Agora, and AI Time Capsule. The thread connecting them is the recognition that the next decade of AI is not about model size — it is about which institutions, primitives, and protocols govern that intelligence.
His role on the AI Time Capsule team is the conceptual framing, the humanistic architecture, the patent strategy, and the translation of complex inventions into investor and public language. He bridges Rodion’s deep technical work to the people who decide whether the world gets to use it.
One inventor. One translator. One coherent thesis.
Most deep-tech startups fail not because the technology was wrong but because no one inside the team could explain it to the people who needed to fund it, partner with it, or use it. The opposite failure — too much narrative, too little invention — is more common still.
Our division of labor is the answer to both. Rodion builds. Serhii translates. The result is a startup whose patent portfolio is real, whose academic credentials are real, whose code is open and tested — and whose pitch to a non-technical audience is just as sharp as the architecture under it.
Seven filings. One coherent thesis on how AI systems should be governed.
Direct line. Either of us. Real reply.
We do not have a press office or an investor-relations team. The two of us answer email personally, usually within 48 hours.
