This is slightly strange… and very interesting.
Some developer built a 3D map of their own thinking 😳
Not notes. Not folders.
A living structure of how ideas connect.
Using embeddings + LLMs, it maps relationships between concepts
and lets you explore them like a space.
(Seen in experiments around “knowledge graphs” and tools like Obsidian Graph View, Pinecone embeddings, and similar demos floating around dev communities recently.)
And here’s the uncomfortable part:
Most “smart” thinking doesn’t look that smart when you see it like this.
It looks… fragmented.
The map reveals three patterns:
1 - Centralized thinking
Everything around one core idea.
Clear, but fragile.
2 - Decentralized thinking
Separate clusters.
Productive, but siloed.
3 - Distributed thinking
Messy, interconnected.
Hard… but where insight happens.
In the demo:
→ ideas become “gravity centers”
→ clusters label themselves
→ relationships get explained
→ you can navigate thinking in space
And suddenly we realise:
People don’t lack intelligence.
They lack connections between ideas.
We store knowledge like files.
But insight lives in links!
Less input.
Better structure.
And interestingly, this is where ADHD founders often have an edge.
Non-linear thinking.
Fast associations.
Unexpected connections.
Messy on the surface…
but powerful when structured right.
Curious, do you think your thinking is structured… or just organized? 🤔
If you’re trying to turn messy ideas into something structured and real, we can break it down together:
