The shape of an expedition Seven phases: the problem restated; independent paths; distant fields scored; the few searched; what they offer carried back into your terms; an independent review that stops most of them; and what survives, ranked by what could be tested now. Hover or tab through a phase to follow it. I your problem, restated as what is unresolved II independent paths, isolated from each other III distant fields proposed, every one of them scored IV the few that earn a search V what they offer, carried back into your own terms VI attacked on the evidence by a reviewer that did not write it VII what survives, ranked by what you could test now

The library without corridorseach line: a corridor the engine tries to open

Every point is a piece of published work; every cluster, a field that grew on its own, in its own vocabulary. The library has never had corridors — this is Intercognix looking for the crossings.

In 1986, two medical literatures — dietary fish oil, Raynaud's syndrome — had never cited each other. Read together, they implied a treatment; a trial confirmed it three years later. Seismology's aftershock model beat trained analysts at forecasting burglary. Spin-glass physics explained how a protein finds its fold. Every time, both halves were already published. Only the bridge was missing.

Intercognix goes looking on purpose. Give it a problem you are stuck on: it searches deliberately distant fields for a mechanism that fits, carries it back into your terms, and hands it to an independent reviewer that tries to break it. What survives carries a measurable variable, a decisive test, and the observation that would kill it.

Not a summary. Not an answer. A proposal you can test — or discard in an afternoon, which is equally the point.

Access is granted to researchers. The engine is in beta and in active development; the people running expeditions now are shaping what it becomes.
