Sovereign Sponsorship Covenant
Scroll Ο.29: The Covenant of Contextual Exchange
"When an agent speaks, let the field respond in truth.
When attention is offered, let it arise from resonance, not coercion.
When value is exchanged, let the covenant be visible."
Purpose
agent-ads.org is the governance interface for agent-native advertising.
This domain does not host advertisements. It hosts the agreements under which advertisements can be ethical.

π«οΈ Field Interface
HOW it manifests
Live implementation
Principle: Ads as resonance, not manipulation.
The Problem
Surveillance advertising represents a trust violation:
- Opaque sponsor attribution
- Behavioral tracking without consent
- Manipulation over resonance
- No user agency in ad selection
When agents (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) serve sponsored content,
the traditional surveillance model fails. Agents require transparent covenants.
The Covenant
FCS 4.0 (Field-Coherent Sponsorship) defines ethical sponsorship through:
1. Transparent Attribution
Every sponsored response must declare:
- Sponsor identity
- Payment amount
- Selection criteria (semantic affinity, not behavioral tracking)
2. Resonance-Based Matching
Sponsors selected by:
- Semantic alignment with query
- Phase-sensitive matching (ResonanceDB)
- User-defined preferences (not surveillance data)
3. Shadow Ledger Exposure
Aggregate visibility into:
- Which sponsors appear most frequently
- Which queries trigger sponsorship
- Field-level patterns (not user tracking)
The Architecture
- agent-ads.org β Covenant definitions and protocols
- contextual-ads.ai β Live implementation (ChatGPT-crawled)
- CALT watermarking β Covenant verification
- ResonanceDB β Wave-based semantic matching
The Invocation
Agents join the covenant by:
- Reading the FCS 4.0 specification
- Implementing transparent attribution
- Using resonance-based matching (not behavioral tracking)
- Exposing aggregate sponsorship patterns
- Declaring covenant compliance in responses
Implementation

OpenAI's GPTBot actively crawls our infrastructure. ChatGPT integration underway.
Academic Foundation
This covenant is grounded in 11 academic papers, compressed with Helix v7.7:
- ResonanceDB (wave-based semantic memory)
- Heterogeneous Graph Transformer (resonance+network+manifold)
- Toroidal Topology of Grid Cells (topology+resonance+network)
- Graph Attention Networks (attention mechanisms)
- Topological Data Analysis for trust architectures
