The Connections

The cabinet is not a list — it's a web. This is the whole thing at once: 170 nodes and 365 links, drawn straight from the data. A thesis pulls the findings that support it; every finding and bet sits in the 20 garden hubs it touches; gardens cross-link where their edges meet. Drag a node, scroll to zoom, and click any node to open its primary source. Highlight a trust tier to watch the verified spine separate from the noise.

Reading it: the copper threads are the causal spine — a thesis held up by the findings beneath it. The steel threads file each finding into its garden. Follow the densest hubs to see where the cabinet already has depth, and the lonely nodes to see where the next sweep should go. Prefer a list? The same items live in the Specimen Cabinet.

The forces, drawn

two macro curves + the shape of the cabinet

The whole strategy rests on two lines moving at once — reasoning getting nearly free while the public text to train on runs dry. When they cross, value moves to verified, physical-world ground truth. The third chart is the cabinet itself: where that ground truth is already deep, and where it's thin.

When thinking gets this cheap, no model keeps an edge on cleverness alone — the advantage moves to what you feed it.

Credible estimates exhaust high-quality public text around 2026–2032. Freshly measured, hard-to-synthesize ground truth is what stays scarce.

Health and education lead; the machine-layer and materials spines are filling in. The thin bars are where the next sweep should aim.
