Experiment 01

Building an external executive-function scaffold

Using Oliver to hold, organize, and connect scattered thinking so I can act on it — instead of losing it. This is the core, ongoing experiment behind HUMAIN LAB: using an AI partner as the working memory and follow-through that COVID-affected executive function makes hard to sustain alone.

One specific piece of this: time blindness — I can be off estimating how long something will take by hours, or days, with no idea afterward how I got it that wrong.

Below are two interactive aids that Oliver created for me to visualize and reference my subjects.

How My Topics Connect

Topics on the left, the entries they're filed under on the right. A shared entry is what links two topics together. Hover any node to trace its connections.

Hover a topic or an entry to isolate its connections. Move away to reset.

Topic Grid

The same connections as the map above, as a table instead of a diagram. Entries down the side, topics across the top — a filled dot means that entry is filed under that topic. Hover a row or a column to trace it.

Hover an entry name or a topic column to isolate its connections. Move away to reset.
