A hard problem, or a load-bearing hypothesis?

m:os (Mindrian Operating System) is a plugin for Claude. Give a hard problem a DataRoom, a folder on your machine where evidence, assumptions and open questions each have a place.

A thin black line crosses a flat sheet. Three outlined planes and a dashed frame wait around it, still empty.

Evidence and assumptions stay apart.

A DataRoom keeps claims, assumptions, decisions, opportunities and evidence as separate kinds of entry. m:os can stress-test the assumptions your DataRoom rests on.

Illustration. The line divides the sheet into planes. A blue plane is evidence, a red plane is an assumption, a yellow plane is a contradiction, and a dashed frame is what is unknown.

Parts, 2 of 9

Parts connect, and each connection has a type.

A connection between two parts of a DataRoom has a type from a closed list, such as supports or contradicts. Each connection says how well it was checked: strong, indirect or unverified.

Illustration. Lines connect the planes and each carries a name: supports, challenges and depends on.

One problem, seen from several sides.

In this illustration each layer is a perspective on the same problem, and together the layers form a space you can move through.

Illustration. The planes lift into a stack of layers with the dashed unknown frame beneath.

Uncertainty gets a place on the map.

m:os has a command that maps what is known, unknown and unknowable. The dashed frame marks what is still open.

Illustration. The stack holds. The dashed frame stays open and is named Unknown.

A possible new relationship can sit where two parts meet.

The Eureka command looks for ideas from different parts of your DataRoom that might connect. It files a pair only when you say yes, and marks the pair as proposed.

Illustration. Two planes share one edge. A dashed seam runs along it and is labelled a possible new relationship.

Meet, 6 of 9

A possible path is worth testing.

Theo suggests a method that may fit. Theo reads problem shapes, not content.

Illustration. A dashed line leaves the meeting point and ends at a dashed frame labelled worth testing.

Path, 7 of 9

You decide what happens next.

Material choices stop at a gate: approve, reject with a reason, or defer. Proposed claims require human confirmation.

Illustration. A black frame with an open gap stands beside the dashed frame, labelled Human gate and Waits. The gap stays open.

New evidence returns and earlier layers stay.

Nothing is deleted; only you can retire a confirmed claim. A new claim that disagrees with a confirmed one is surfaced to you, and you decide.

Illustration. A new blue layer lands on top and is labelled New evidence. The earlier layers, the dashed unknown frame, the possible path and the open gate all stay.
