IN SHORT
What is a Knowledge Access Pass?
An access right that lets your own AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) connect to the knowledge in a specific book. Your AI can trace the book's contents, concepts, causes, examples and figures, so that, starting from your own questions, you can think, imagine and create together with the book.
- What you buy
- An access right (MCP access) for your AI to connect to the book's knowledge. Not the book text or a PDF.
- How you use it
- Connect it to your everyday AI and talk with the book freely. You can check the basis of the conversation by its chapter and section sources (an AI that supports MCP connections is required).
- What's new
- The first one, the Physical AI Knowledge Access Pass, is now on sale.
The first book is “Physical AI — AI Begins to Move the World.” Buy it from your wallet for 1,000 JPYC or 10 USDC.
QUESTION
Where does a book's knowledge go after you finish reading it?
The lines you underlined and the pages you flagged stay with you. But six months later, when you want to recall how the book distinguished capability from authority, flipping back through the pages is not easy.
And the question you are holding right now — under what conditions could robots be introduced where I work? — is not something a book will work through with you. A book is made to be read in the order its author chose.
After finishing “Physical AI,” I looked for a way to let readers enter a book from their own questions. The answer I arrived at was not to hand over the book itself, but to connect the structure of its knowledge to AI.
THREE WALLS
Reading has three walls.
- 01You can't find it
Searching with the words you remember doesn't lead you to the section where the idea is written.
- 02You can't cross chapters
Links that span chapters — like “authority” in Chapter 6 and “conditions for implementation” in Chapter 8 — are yours to assemble.
- 03You can't talk with it
A book doesn't respond to your questions or your situation.
AI has the power to get past all three. But to have AI trace a book's contents correctly, the connection itself has to be designed.
HOW IT WORKS
Not handing over the whole book, but connecting the structure of its knowledge.
A Knowledge Access Pass is a “map of knowledge” that organizes a book into concepts, causes, examples, figures, and chapters and sections. Your AI connects to this map through MCP (Model Context Protocol), a common connection method, and pulls only the parts your question needs.
Giving the whole PDF to AI
- AI talks by guessing from a long text
- Where something was written tends to get fuzzy
- The full text has to be handled with care
Knowledge Access Pass
- Widens the conversation by tracing the related concepts and causes on the map
- Chapter and section sources show where to check in the book
- The full text itself is not handed over
DIALOGUE
For example, a dialogue like this.
In practice, you ask whatever you like, and your AI thinks it through with you by tracing the book's knowledge. Here are three examples of how a dialogue can begin (the buttons below switch between them).
YouHow do “capability,” “authority” and “delegation” in Chapter 6 differ?
AICapability asks “what can it do,” authority asks “what may it do,” and delegation asks “on whose behalf does it act” — three separate questions. The book goes further, covering agent identification and auditing as conditions for an acting agent to behave safely.
Related: Chapter 6, sections 6-1, 6-4, 6-7, 6-9

CREATE
From dialogue to creation.
A dialogue with a book doesn't end with hearing an answer. Together with your AI, you can widen your imagination and turn it into something new. Below are sample requests to your AI; word them however you like.
Using the ideas in Chapter 8, summarize five points we should discuss at next week's meeting.
Organize how the ideas in Chapter 4 relate so they can be drawn as a box-and-arrow diagram.
Taking a logistics warehouse as an example, consider where we could start, in light of the book's conditions for implementation.
Create the setting for a sci-fi short story in a city in 2040, themed on the book's “authority” and “delegation.”
With a space explorer as narrator, turn the ideas of Physical AI into a three-panel comic script.
WHY WALLET
Why start with a wallet?
The Knowledge Access Pass starts with direct purchase from your wallet with JPYC or USDC, on your choice of three networks: Ethereum, Polygon or Avalanche.
I chose this form first because I wanted to test one in which writer and reader connect directly, without a large intermediary in between, and the reader uses their own wallet as the key to “the access right to this book's knowledge.”
Other payment methods that are easier for more people, such as credit cards, are also under consideration.
No name, email address or password needed. We never hold your wallet's private key or recovery phrase.
The access right is tied to the wallet you paid with (no NFT or other token is sent to your wallet). Even if you close the screen, the same wallet takes you back to your page.
Knowledge itself can be copied, but the “connection” to a book's structure and its author's context can be held as an access right.
TWO WAYS
Why the full text is not included.
The Access Pass is not a sale of the book's text or a PDF. What the Access Pass gives your AI is the key points and structure related to your question, together with chapter and section sources. The text itself is not handed over.
As the author, I want the book to be read as a book. Giving yourself to the flow of an author's words and tracing knowledge from your own questions are different experiences.
Take in the author's words closely. Build understanding along the book's structure.
Trace knowledge from your own questions. Ask across chapters and deepen your thinking.
If you have read the book, go deeper. If you haven't, use it as a way in. You can start from either side.
WHAT'S NEXT
From the first book to a bookshelf.
The Physical AI Knowledge Access Pass is the first book in the Knowledge Access Pass series. Just as each card has its own color, more books will be added one by one.
Your everyday AI, connected to a whole bookshelf. The questions and ideas born there should take you to places that reading a single book alone could not reach.
