This is a knowledge graph that maps three levels of explanation:
Observable patterns in everyday life. Things you might wonder about: "Why do I keep doing X even when I know better?" or "Why does this situation always trip me up?"
Mental shortcuts and lenses distilled from neuroscience. These are ways of thinking about how the brain organises perception, learning, and action.
The underlying neural systems. Current understanding of how the brain and nervous system actually work—the hardware that makes everything else possible.
How to use this:
Start with a phenomenon that resonates. Read the explanation, then explore the connected heuristics to see how your brain produces that pattern. Follow the links to architecture if you want to understand the neural systems underneath. Everything connects.
