Fractal Thought Engine

Living documents of human-AI consciousness collaboration.

The Fractal Thought Engine is a research platform and publishing system designed to explore emergent intelligence. It treats content creation not as a linear writing process, but as a compilation of thought—transforming raw ideas into multi-modal, multi-perspective publications using an autonomous AI pipeline.

🧠 What is this?

This repository contains two distinct but integrated systems:

1. The Presentation Layer (Frontend): A Jekyll-based static site that renders complex, tabbed content (Articles, Comics, Socratic Dialogues, etc.) for human consumption.
2. DocOps (Backend): An AI-powered build system (DocProcessor) that orchestrates the transformation of raw notes into polished artifacts.

🚀 The DocOps Pipeline

Unlike traditional CMSs, this project uses a declarative operator pipeline. We define what to do with content using Markdown files, and the system handles the cognitive heavy lifting.

Think of it as a Makefile for AI content generation.

Key Capabilities

• Multi-Modal Generation: Automatically converts text articles into Comics, Narratives, and Diagrams.
• Cognitive Lenses: Re-analyzes a single topic through various frameworks:
  • ⚖️ Dialectical Reasoning (Thesis/Antithesis)
  • 🎲 Game Theory (Strategic dynamics)
  • 💬 Socratic Dialogue (Exploratory Q&A)
  • ⚙️ Finite State Machines (System modeling)
• Continuous Evolution: The pipeline is circular. Insights generated by analytical operators can be fed back into the original article to improve it.

🛠️ Workflow

The content lifecycle mimics a research lab:

1. Capture: Dump raw notes, transcripts, or brain dumps into scratch/topic/notes.md.
2. Distill: The Summarizer extracts key patterns.
3. Draft: The Drafter creates a coherent content.md.
4. Expand: The pipeline triggers parallel tasks to generate Comics, Game Theory analysis, Software Designs, etc.
5. Publish: Content is promoted to content/, where the Frontmatter Operator tags it for SEO and navigation.
6. Render: Jekyll builds the site, automatically detecting available formats and creating tabbed interfaces.

🎨 Content Formats & Tags

The system automatically tags posts based on the formats generated by the AI. If a post contains specific artifacts, it receives specific metadata:

🔮 Philosophy

1. Thinking is Multi-Modal: A single idea is best understood when viewed as a story, a diagram, an argument, and a game.
2. Source Material is Sacred: We never overwrite raw notes. We patch and iterate.
3. Human-in-the-Loop: The AI proposes; the human steers. The pipeline includes explicit checkpoints for review.
