Finding knowledge
Search, Explore, and mindsets
Start with a goal, choose an appropriate reasoning lens, and turn results into useful next steps.
Search begins with intent
Use Search when you have a question or outcome. Use Explore when you want to inspect a field, content type, or emerging area without pretending you already know the right query.
Use a mindset
A mindset changes how a question is approached—for example by emphasizing critical evaluation, practical application, comparison, or deeper research. It should improve the method, not change the underlying facts.
- 1Write the question in plain language.
- 2Choose a mindset that matches the decision or learning task.
- 3Add relevant context and desired depth.
- 4Review the answer and its sources; refine the query when an assumption is wrong or a key constraint is missing.
Evaluate results
- Prefer sources that directly support the claim being made.
- Check dates for time-sensitive topics.
- Distinguish a source summary from an original source.
- Treat generated synthesis as a map for investigation, not automatic proof.
- Save only the results that you expect to use again.
Continue the work
A useful result can become a Curio, note, saved item, Field resource, or starting point for a conversation. Choose the destination based on whether the work is public knowledge, private thinking, a persistent project, or collaboration.
