In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.
Just outside the lens — they connect it to other context.
Structural observations about the concepts shown here — descriptions of this graph, not claims about the world.
The focused concept’s relationships. Pick another concept in the graph above to update this list.
A lens is a deterministic projection of the graph. Pick a discipline, thinking pattern or journey to reframe the whole view.
By thinking pattern
Concept collections are curated lenses onto the fabric — themed sets of ideas that recur across disciplines. They are not journeys; they are a way to read the graph.
How energy is stored, transferred and transformed — from falling objects to living cells.
Stocks, flows and feedback — why wholes behave in ways their parts do not.
Regularities that recur across maths, music, nature and art.
Encoding, signals and noise — the same idea in computers, genes and nerves.
Start from one concept and expand outward. The view never shows everything at once — click a node to refocus, filter by relationship type, or switch to an accessible list.
3750 concepts and 5051 typed relations form one connected component — no isolated silo.
Focus a concept, or apply a lens (discipline, mental model, journey) to see only the threads that matter.
