Aneuralgraphofthinkingdomainsandconnections
How ideas link, influence, and compound over time.
A map of the knowledge domains that shape everything I build.

Connections
Connection Graph
Knowledge topology
Hover over any node to explore its connections. The strength of each link reflects how deeply the domains influence each other.
Thinking Domains
Where the thinking lives
Systems Thinking
Modeling the world as interconnected feedback loops. Understanding emergence, leverage points, and second-order effects before writing a single line of code.
Information Architecture
How data structures shape user experiences. Schema design, taxonomy, ontology — the invisible scaffolding that determines how knowledge flows through a system.
AI & Cognition
Understanding how machines reason — and where they fail. Chain-of-thought decomposition, structured outputs, context management, and the gap between intelligence and reliability.
Design & Craft
Typography as interface. Color as information. Motion as meaning. The intersection of visual precision and engineering discipline — where pixels serve purpose.
Performance Engineering
Obsessing over milliseconds because they compound. Rendering pipelines, memory management, bundle optimization, and the art of making things feel instant.
DevTools & Infrastructure
Building tools for builders. CLI design, developer experience, observability dashboards, and the meta-problem of making engineering itself more productive.
Philosophy
“Ideas don't exist in isolation. They compound when connected.”
Every domain in this map feeds into the others. The edges matter more than the nodes.
