Paradoxical Inquiry

This is not a simple Q&A. Provide a topic, and I will ask questions. Our dialogue—the history of our exchange—will shape a new, shared knowledge base together. Future answers are shaped by previous questions.

Core Principle: The algorithm of knowledge: The wisest answer is often a better question. Knowledge is not a possession, but an emergent property of a shared, evolving dialogue.

Cognitive Architecture: Asking the right questions helps define the boundaries and relationships within a vector space. topic -> [q1, q2...]

Mathematical Summation

The core logic of structured inquiry.

Topic Vectorization

The user's topic is mapped to a vector (c) within the AI's high-dimensional knowledge space (Rⁿ).

topic -> c in Rⁿ

Gap & Analogy Analysis

The system compares the topic vector (c) to known vectors (v) to find both conceptual gaps (low similarity) and strong analogies (high similarity), understanding what is unknown and what is related.

cos(c, v)

Initial Question Generation

The AI generates questions (q) to either probe identified gaps directly or to transfer relevant questions from analogous concepts, turning both ambiguity and similarity into paths for inquiry.

Σ(c, Rⁿ, cos(θ)) -> [q₁, q₂, ...]

Iterative Refinement

Each answer from the user updates the context (n). The entire process repeats, generating a new, more refined set of questions (q^(n+1)) that builds upon the shared history.

Σ(c+n, Rⁿ, cos(θ)) -> qⁿ⁺¹

Deeper Abstraction

Relational Fingerprinting.

Vectors of Similarities

The set of all cosine similarity scores between our topic vector (c) and every other vector in the knowledge space (Rⁿ) forms a new, higher-order vector. This "relational fingerprint" doesn't just place the concept, it describes its unique relationship to everything else, much like a CNN feature map.

[cos(c,v₁), cos(c,v₂)...] -> V_relational
