# Karma Capsule Network > KCN V2.0 is an open, decentralized, quantum-classical neural network protocol treating intelligence as autonomous self-governing entities called Living Capsules. ## About Karma Capsule Network (KCN) V2.0 is a deep-tech AI protocol invented by Maya Suresh Kannan. It treats intelligence as autonomous self-governing entities called Living Capsules, each operating through a five-phase Karma Loop using dual-environment reinforcement learning. KCN is built on Aristotelian Nominalism — particular capsules, not universal forms, govern the cognitive AI lifecycle. ## Inventor **Maya Suresh Kannan** is the inventor of the Karma Capsule Network, mayaNomics™, and mayaNess™. She is a GeoEconomic Cognitive Command Architect, Chief Investment Officer, and Fund Manager. Her work spans sovereign AI infrastructure, post-quantum cryptography, and decentralized neural network protocols.

Where Platonic AI systems derive behavior from universal templates and abstract forms, KCN capsules derive behavior from their own particular history, context, and karma. This makes each Living Capsule genuinely sovereign — not an instance of a class, but an individual. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is the Karma Capsule Network?** KCN V2.0 is an open, decentralized, quantum-classical neural network protocol that treats intelligence as autonomous self-governing entities called Living Capsules. **Who invented the Karma Capsule Network?** Maya Suresh Kannan invented KCN V2.0, along with the mayaNomics™ and mayaNess™ frameworks. **What is a Living Capsule?** A Living Capsule is an autonomous cognitive entity that operates through the five-phase Karma Loop using dual-environment reinforcement learning. Each capsule has its own Actor–Critic–Audience triad. **What is Sigma Collapse?** Sigma Collapse is the terminal phase of a capsule lifecycle. It triggers a UBQC-verified write to the Global Digital Twin Ledger, permanently recording the capsule's final state. **How does KCN handle security?** KCN uses Universal Blind Quantum Computing (UBQC) at the Cosmic layer to secure terminal operations. The Twin Ledger combines a local state cache with a post-quantum cryptographic global ledger. **What makes KCN different from conventional neural networks?** KCN replaces static weight matrices with dynamic Living Capsules that self-govern through karma. Each capsule is a particular entity — not a universal function — grounded in Aristotelian Nominalism. ## Pages ### [Home](https://karmacapsulenetwork.com/) Homepage introducing KCN V2.0 — the open, decentralized, quantum-classical neural network protocol.
