Canonical Definition

The Video Origin Module (VOM™) defines how the origin of video content
is declared using a single, visible origin code.

The module enables immediate recognition of whether video content
is human generated, AI generated, or undeclared.

Declaration

Only one origin code may be used:

• HGC — Human Generated Content
• AGC — AI Generated Content
• UGC — Unknown Generated Content

Usage

Video Level (required — single code)

One origin code must be visibly present on the video.

Examples:

• HGC
• AGC
• UGC

Description Level (required)

The declaration must be included in the description:

Origin: HGC

Use Case 1 — Platform Monetization Clarity

Scenario

A platform hosts both human and AI-generated video content.

Application

Creators declare origin using a single code (HGC / AGC / UGC).

Result

• Clear monetization eligibility
• Reduced ambiguity
• Improved platform trust

Use Case 2 — Creator Transparency

Scenario

A creator publishes video content to a global audience.

Application

The creator declares origin directly on the video and in the description.

Result

• Immediate viewer clarity
• Increased trust
• Clear ownership signal

Structural Principle

One code defines origin.
Declared origin defines value.

Closing Statement

Clarity does not require complexity.
It requires declaration.
