Wander the field, never lose the thread.
A spatial surface can be beautiful and still get you lost — Wikipedia never does, because it's a line. So this one keeps a line underneath the space: one instrument at every depth, a trail you can always walk back, and commerce that only ever sits downstream of the evidence.
Every layer is read with the same tool, so moving never means relearning.
The whole field
Arrive on the constellation of all research topics, connected by shared journals. Orientation before detail — you see the terrain before you pick a path.
One field, x-rayed
A topic's evidence signature, its verifiable counts and its neighbours. No verdict — the shape and the live queries let you judge.
Who works here
The same constellation, now of the companies active in that field. Amber, not green: you have crossed from evidence into commerce, and the colour says so.
The x-ray, then the link
A company's services and its own research, held visibly apart from independent evidence. Only past that x-ray does the single disclosed affiliate link appear.
A breadcrumb always names your path and every step is clickable — the linear thread under the space.
A four-tick rail shows which layer you're on. Green for evidence, amber for commerce; you always know which world you're in.
Constellation and signature work identically at every depth. The tool never changes shape, only what it points at.
A single “back to the field” resets to depth 0 from anywhere. No dead ends, no deep holes.
An offer is never reachable without passing its company x-ray. Commerce is downstream of evidence, so nobody is ambushed by a sale.
