Clarification · Digital succession
Cognitive heritage vs digital legacy two inheritances, two requirements
Digital legacy covers access to accounts, files and online traces. Cognitive heritage is structured, governed, transmissible memory — values, arbitrations, know-how. Confusing the two leaves transmission incomplete.
Digital legacy defined
In common usage, digital legacy includes email and social accounts, cloud storage, subscriptions, crypto keys, scattered photos and message histories — with real post-mortem access issues.
Cognitive heritage defined
Cognitive heritage is not reducible to files. It is structured intelligence: why a decision was made, which values are non-negotiable, which tacit know-how must survive, which intention guides heirs.
