A geometry of how thinking moves.
Think of every idea in a working session as a point on a map — and every point carrying a little bundle of context: who raised it, what it connected to, how much energy it had. As the work moves, those points trace paths across the map. Some paths bend sharply where the group made an unexpected leap. Some flatten out and stall. Threads split apart, run separately for a while, and braid back together.
The key move is that the data is the geometry: not a flat transcript to be analyzed later, but the shape of the thinking itself — strands running over a base, sections sitting on strands, forks fanning out, convergences pulling lines back into knots. The technical word for the bends and flat spots is curvature.
Plug in your data. Curvature finds what your dashboards can’t.
The idea comes with its own drawing conventions, and they double as the shop’s: a base axis for time, capability-lines as strands flowing over it, crystallized ideas as lit sections on a strand, and the two emotional beats of any real body of work — strands diverging at a fork, and re-braiding at a convergence. What changed at each step is first-class; the delta matters more than the snapshot. Convergence points read as high-curvature knots, which is why a curvature knot is the working mark of this site.
What you have just read is the shape. How curvature is computed, represented, and used is the mechanism — and the mechanism is deliberately not described here, ahead of filings. When that changes, this page will grow.
