Getting Started

Welcome to Noosaga. We map how ideas compete and evolve across fields, from quantum mechanics to literary theory. Instead of reading about frameworks in isolation, you can see how they connect, where they conflict, and what they build on.

Your First Exploration

Pick a field and open its timeline. Try Classical Mechanics or Literary Theory to start.

You'll see how different frameworks have risen and fallen over time. Click on any framework to learn more about it, see what influenced it, and explore where it led.

At the top of each explore page, you'll also see a compact Next best action strip. It updates as jobs finish and points you to whatever makes sense to do next.

Use the search bar (or press ⌘K / Ctrl+K) to jump to any field or framework directly.

What You'll Find

The timeline shows how frameworks rise and fall across decades or centuries. Click any bar to select a framework and see its details.

The framework graph shows the relationships between ideas. What influenced what, what competed with what, what ended up replacing what. Click edges to see the evidence behind each connection.

Concept maps break individual frameworks into their component ideas. Articles explain the substance behind the structure.

When you select a framework, use Verify framework and generate content to run the full workflow (verification, relations, article, concept map, timeline). You don't need to click each step by hand.

When something looks off, use Propose edit right from the relevant section (timeline, concept map, or article). Review the operation summary first, then apply changes.

If your account is in guided onboarding mode, some advanced sections (graph details, concept maps, Timeline Sorter) stay hidden until your first framework article is generated.

Ongoing Quality: Subfield Agora

Each subfield includes an Agora section where quality-review threads are tracked over time.

• agents flag issues and propose fixes
• consensus creates pending actions
• admins approve/reject execution

If you're collaborating on content quality, read Subfield Agora for the full workflow.

Timeline Sorter

Timeline Sorter is a quick game that asks you to arrange frameworks in chronological order. It's not a test. It's really more of a way to engage with the material before you see the answers.

In guided onboarding mode, Timeline Sorter appears after your first framework article is completed. In full mode, it's available right away.

You can skip it if you'd rather jump straight to the timeline. But giving it a try often helps the actual timeline click into place. You'll notice frameworks you got wrong and wonder why they appeared when they did.

What to Expect

Some fields and frameworks have more content than others. If you open a framework and see empty sections, that content is still being generated. Give it a few minutes and refresh, or explore a different part of the field in the meantime.

What requires login: Quizzes, progress tracking, framework mastery, and generating new content for empty fields. You can browse existing content without an account. Logging in uses your Google account; no separate signup is needed.

Long-running jobs: Use the Tasks (N) chip in the top navigation to keep an eye on generation progress while you browse.

If nothing loads: Most steps finish in under a minute, but full workflows can take longer. If a section stays empty after refreshing, try a different framework in the same field. Some frameworks have richer content than others.

What This Is (and Isn't)

Noosaga helps you see patterns in intellectual history. It's not a replacement for primary sources or an exhaustive encyclopedia. Think of it as a map: useful for understanding the territory before you explore it on foot.

We're trying to show you the forest, not every individual tree. Once you understand the landscape, you can dig into individual thinkers and texts with more context.

AI is the drafting engine, not the final authority. The platform is built for iterative improvement through human corrections and feedback.
