For people with too many interests
Meet Sokratic,
your Meet Sokratic: your teacher, your opponent, your sparring partner, your toughest critic.
Every interest becomes a node that remembers what you feed it. Connect two and each one draws on the other’s memory. Then Sokratic does what no other AI will — it tells you where you’re wrong.

Node memory
Every node remembers.
Each one has a memory of its own.
A node is not a folder. Whatever you put inside it — a paper, a recording, a screenshot, something you wrote at 2am — becomes part of that node’s own memory, kept apart from every other node’s. Come back in a month and it still knows what you gave it, and what you said about it.
Mycology
Cybernetics
Neither node gives anything up. Each one gains the other’s.
The family mechanism
They draw on each other.
Each keeps its own, and reaches into the other.
Connect two nodes and neither one dissolves. Mycology stays Mycology, with its own memory intact. What changes is reach: it can now draw on everything Cybernetics has been fed, and Cybernetics can draw on it. Connect a third and it joins the same family.
Drop to brainstorm
Both ration the next move by what came before. So is improvisation just strategy at speed — or is that exactly where the analogy breaks?
Brainstorm
Drop one on another.
It hunts for the seam between them.
Drag a node onto a node and Sokratic looks for what the two have in common — then presses on the part that doesn’t hold. Not a summary of both. A question that only exists because you put those two together.
You wrote
Mycelium networks are basically the internet — decentralised and self-healing.
Every other AI
Great analogy! That’s a really insightful connection between biology and technology.
Sokratic
Decentralised, yes. But self-healing? The internet reroutes around damage and leaves it there; mycelium regrows the damaged part. Those aren’t the same claim — which one are you making?
Pushback
It won’t agree with you.
Praise teaches you nothing.
Every other assistant is tuned to make you feel clever. Sokratic reads what you wrote, finds the part that doesn’t hold, and comes back at that — using everything the node already knows about the subject. You are going to be wrong sometimes. That is the point.

Progress
Every move earns XP.
You don’t feel progress. You measure it.
Writing into a node, connecting two, running a brainstorm, answering back when Sokratic pushes — all of it scores. The ring is the part of your map you’ve actually worked, not the part you meant to. It only moves when you do the thinking.
Start with one interest.
It will find the second. Then it will argue.
