SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Traces the evolution of a single idea inside the brain, reconstructing its first mention, best articulation, related concepts, reversals, contradictions, abandoned branches, and the current live version, with cited brain evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based lineage resolution for a single idea.
  • Evidence gathering from brain pages, takes, and related concepts.
  • Structured lineage output with milestones: first mention, best articulation, current live version, reversals, contradictions, abandoned branches, and related concepts.

Quick Start

Provide an idea prompt and ask for its lineage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace the evolution of a single idea inside my brain?

To trace idea evolution, provide an idea prompt to resolve its phase-based lineage, gathering evidence from brain pages and takes to output milestones like first mention and current live version.

What is idea lineage analysis and when do I need it?

Idea lineage analysis reconstructs a concept's evolution by identifying its first mention, best articulation, reversals, and abandoned branches. You need it when tracking how a thought changed over time with cited brain evidence.

Can I track contradictions and abandoned branches of a concept using brain evidence?

Yes, you can track contradictions and abandoned branches by analyzing brain pages and takes. The structured lineage output highlights reversals and abandoned concepts alongside the current live version with citations.

Does idea lineage analysis mutate or modify my existing brain pages?

No, idea lineage analysis operates as a read-only process. It gathers evidence from brain pages and takes to present a structured lineage without mutating or altering your original brain pages.

What is the best way to find the first mention and current live version of an idea?

The best way to find first mentions and current live versions is phase-based lineage resolution. It analyzes brain evidence to structure milestones, mapping the idea from its origin to its present articulation.

How do I get started with generating a lineage report for a concept?

To generate a lineage report, simply provide an idea prompt requesting its lineage. The system executes phase-based analysis to gather evidence and deliver a structured output with milestones and sources.
