The map

MatheMetaphor for one mind · mechanisms simulated
Measures meaning: working mathematics — feedback, entropy, annealing — borrowed as metaphors for a single mind, each mechanism run live and its mapping audited.

ExploRational for one mind · moves drilled
Opens it: the moves that reopen a closed sentence — premortem, reversal, reframe — divergence practiced until it is a reflex.

CommuniCoupling between minds · mechanisms simulated
Couples it: simulations of what runs between people — escalation, coordination, segregation — systems whose outcomes none of their members chose.

SocioRhetoric between minds · moves drilled
Performs it: a catalog of contemporary speech acts — promise, palter, bluff — with drills for locating what an utterance does.

Recognitions of Transformation The Mandala the gold center
At the grid's still point sits the ceremonial wing, gold on near-black, built for recognition rather than analysis: five recognitions and a sky to dwell under.

First doors

One page per site. None assumes an earlier page.

MatheMetaphor Feedback loops The first instrument is a shower tap with lag. You have fought that pipe; the page turns the fight into control theory, and the only prerequisite is having showered.

CommuniCoupling Segregation from mild preference Watch a mixed grid tip into separation almost no one wanted — the gap between what individuals prefer and what they jointly produce, visible inside a minute.

SocioRhetoric Palter Every word true, the impression false. You have met the move in listings and press releases; here it is named, plotted, and taken apart.

ExploRational The premortem "The plan has failed — write the history of why." A drill that surfaces reasons merely fearing the failure cannot, usable in tomorrow's meeting unchanged.

One thread

A thread is a reading order: one theme, one stop per site. Start with the thread of noise — Shannon's ceiling on a channel, the redundancy that carries sentences across noisy rooms, the palterer who recruits your own error-correction, and the silences that still decode.

The habit

The Gyms turn the catalogs into repetitions: SocioRhetoric's drills you in locating speech acts, ExploRational's in reopening closed sentences. Every page you finish is marked read in your browser — stored locally, no account, no setup — and the hub spends that record on you: its random door prefers your unread pages, and its bridges point from what you have read to a twin on another shelf.

The instruments rule: simulations compute their displayed values from stated models, and every page states where its model breaks.
