Idea atlas

The research program as one map: papers, themes, and the concepts that connect them

My research argues that decisions depend on the representations behind them, so this page offers one: the research program drawn as a map. The center holds the current thesis, that AI moves the cognitive bounds strategy was built on. Around it sit the three kinds of cognitive work the papers study—search, representation, and aggregation—plus the methods and teaching work that supports them.

Every circle is a paper and links to its summary page. Diamonds are recurring concepts and link to the glossary. Hover over any node to trace its connections and see what it is about.
