Who it is for · ideas
So that ideas are not lost and get tested
An idea has a page with arguments for and against, and a hypothesis has a deadline and a condition for failure.
What work this is about
A thought is written down, put aside and a month later comes back again — without what was already understood about it. Here each idea has one page that collects everything said about it.
Example
- Idea pageArgument for — it is easier for a person to answer in writing, when it suits them
- Argument againstIn writing you cannot hear where a person hesitates
- Found earlierYou already wrote about this on 12 September — in other words
Three situations
“I have thought about this before.” A question to your own records finds earlier records on the same topic, even if the words were different.
“Why did I decide otherwise back then?” The idea page has every argument with its date, including those that later turned out wrong: they are struck through, not deleted.
“What should I test?” An idea that is ready to be tested becomes a hypothesis with a deadline and a condition under which it counts as wrong.
Which parts are involved
One day
You write down a thought from the phone. In the evening you discuss it with the system: it finds what you wrote about it before and adds arguments from both sides to the idea page. What to do next is still up to you.
