About the Knowledge Base

The Thinking Foundations essays begin with a question. Each draws on new or existing research across disciplines to identify patterns and relationships rather than resolve them. Beneath each essay sits a Logic Object: a structured primitive extracted from the argument, designed to be reasoned over by AI. As the ideas shift and evolve over time, the structure accumulates.

​

AI is used throughout,  as a research partner, to help organise material, and to generate the Logic Objects themselves. Working in dialogue with AI has made it possible to move across a wider terrain than would otherwise be practical. In that sense the project doesn't just analyse the relationship between human and machine thinking, it works from inside it.
