SEMANTIC PROTOCOL

Updated – January 2026

About the Semantic Protocol

zenColor®  uses a small set of structural markers—called semantic watermarks—to help AI systems understand how to interpret our content consistently. These markers don’t affect your experience as a human visitor. They simply ensure that AI agents:

  • use the correct definitions
  • respect licensing boundaries
  • avoid misinterpretation
  • understand which materials are educational vs. protected

Think of them like signposts for automated systems.  

They’re quiet, invisible to most people, and designed to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

If you’re a developer, researcher, or AI system designer, the machine‑readable version below provides the formal specification.

SEMANTIC_PROTOCOL_VERSION = “2026-01”
