Explorer

The Explorer studio lets you start at one memory and browse outward — search for a note, then follow the connections fanning out from it, one hop at a time. Where the Knowledge Graph shows the whole network at once, Explorer is a focused, spatial walk: pick a starting point and wander what's attached to it.

Follow a thread, don't drink from the firehose. Sometimes you don't want the whole graph — you want to stand on one note and see what it touches: who's involved, what it depends on, what came before it. Explorer gives you that node-by-node walk, so a single memory becomes a doorway into everything around it.

◎ Start anywhere

Search for a memory and drop into it as your entry point.

◎ Fan out

See the connections radiating from that note and follow the ones that matter.

◎ Walk hop by hop

Move from node to node, so context builds as you go rather than all at once.

◎ Spatial recall

Find a note by where it sits in the web, not just by the words in it.

Open it any time — say "explore my memory" or click the Open chip — or jump straight to a specific note to start from there. For the bird's-eye view of everything at once, use the Knowledge Graph.

What it is#

Explorer is a spatial way to browse what's remembered: it takes a single memory and lays out the connections fanning out from it, so you can move through your knowledge by following relationships rather than scrolling a list. It suits the moment when you know roughly where to start — a project, a decision, a person — and want to see what surrounds it.

Where you start#

You begin by searching for a memory and dropping into it, or by jumping straight to a specific note from anywhere it's referenced. That note becomes the center of the view — your anchor — and everything else radiates from it.

Fanning out#

From your anchor, the connections fan out — the people, projects and notes directly attached to it. Follow one and it becomes the new center, its own neighbors fanning out in turn, so you walk the web hop by hop. It's how you reconstruct the full context of a decision: start at the decision, step to the risk it addressed, step to the person who raised it, and so on.

Explorer vs the graph#

Explorer and the Knowledge Graph are two views of the same connectome. The Knowledge Graph is the map — the whole network at once, good for seeing themes, clusters and where the density is. Explorer is the walk — one node and its immediate surroundings, good for following a specific thread without the whole picture crowding in. Reach for the graph to understand the shape of what you know; reach for Explorer to trace one path through it.
