As global demographic shifts drive unprecedented increases in average human lifespans and simultaneously contract the ratio of working-age populations to dependents, the primary constraint on advanced industrial development has shifted from energy or physical labor toward the management of specialized, accumulated knowledge. The Assetization of Intergenerational Expertise (AIE) is the macro-economic paradigm shift wherein an individual's deep professional history—their institutional memory, unique failure data, and cross-domain judgment—is legally structured, quantified, and treated as a high-value financial asset class known as Cognitive Capital. This process necessitates systems that track not just credentials or degrees, but the verifiable provenance of lived experience itself.
