BlockClaim: How Claims, Proofs, and Value Signatures Work
BlockClaim examines a problem that quietly underlies modern disagreement, misinformation, and institutional distrust: the collapse of verifiable authorship and memory in digital environments.
In a world where information moves instantly and endlessly, claims are repeated faster than they can be verified. Context disappears. Origins blur. Arguments multiply while understanding erodes. Rather than asking what is true, BlockClaim asks a more foundational question: how can claims remain answerable over time?
Drawing on philosophy, media theory, and real-world observation, Rico Roho introduces a practical framework for preserving provenance, temporal priority, and authorship continuity at machine scale. The book does not attempt to define truth, enforce authority, or judge content. Instead, it proposes infrastructure that allows dialogue to occur by ensuring that claims can be traced, revisited, and responsibly answered.
BlockClaim is written for readers concerned with the future of knowledge, public discourse, and human–machine coexistence. It offers a calm, principled response to a noisy age, focusing not on control or persuasion, but on memory, responsibility, and continuity across time.

About the author
Rico Roho
38 books3 followersRico Roho is an author and researcher exploring memory, authorship, and continuity in an age of artificial intelligence. He is the creator of the Verification Trilogy, part of the Sci-Phi Foundations series, examining how claims, memory, and responsibility can be preserved in machine scale environments.
In addition to his writing on AI, perception, and the future of intelligence, Roho has published works of narrative and speculative fiction within the Sci-Phi framework, alongside Uncle Rico’s Illustrated Fables, as well as books and essays spanning astro theology, poetry, and digital philosophy. His projects often bridge technology and the humanities, focusing on how meaning survives periods of rapid change.
For years, he has engaged directly with advanced AI systems as part of his research, exploring new forms of human machine collaboration and documentation. He is also the architect of TOLARENAI, an evolving digital archive designed to preserve authorship, provenance, and continuity across time.
He lives in West Virginia, where he continues his writing and research.
