Open a local overview
Unlock the vault, open Continuity → Map , and refresh. A conversation, API key or Local model is not needed. This view makes no AI requests. It groups recurring wording and saved topic labels from current memories and notebooks; it is not a map of a person’s mind or a model’s hidden reasoning. Use the neighboring Library tab to browse saved records directly, including ones not shown in the bounded map.

Numbers show supporting sample records. Lines join themes mentioned in the same records; their positions are only a layout.

This curated website example uses invented records. Four theme names and their examples have been made more familiar, and 16 weaker links are omitted for clarity. The app builds its map from your own saved records.
Borrowed light
The moon in the wash water
Light on the washing-up bowl looked like a crescent moon. I put a quick sketch beside the leftovers recipe: an ordinary chore can still leave something worth noticing.
What a repaired lamp reveals
Fixing the old lamp changed the light in the room. I tried a paper shade before making the real one, then kept the worn switch with the other small keepsakes.
Bread timing
The shortest diplomatic incident
Sourdough diplomacy failed when the starter crossed the jar rim. Bread timing and clock drift belong in the kitchen notes; fermentation supplied the evidence.
The tide has no meeting agenda
Tide pools, moon phases and bread timing each follow a rhythm. Slow attention means noticing the differences instead of forcing them onto one schedule.
Clock drift
A rhythm with no repeat sign
Prime numbers and clock drift suggest a music practice experiment: repeat two patterns until they meet. Imperfect circles are a useful drawing of the attempt.

A library inside the loaf
Library margins hold a previous reader’s patience. Fermentation and bread timing ask for a similar return visit; slow attention can leave the question unfinished.
Found sounds
A transmitter made of cardboard
Late-night radio gave me an idea for a cardboard instrument. It cannot transmit anything, but the sketchbook now has a home for the hums, clicks and found sounds I keep collecting.
An unfinished route home
Urban maps can leave room for story seeds. Night walks collect found sounds without needing to turn every sound into a destination.
Fungal networks
Small worlds after dinner
A bowl of leftover soup looked surprisingly like a tide pool. I sketched the shapes, then added a note about the fungal networks in the garden. Three very different small worlds on one page.
A garden written in intervals
Fungal networks and prime numbers are different subjects with a shared place in the garden notebook. Weather diaries and tiny experiments keep the speculation checkable.
Imperfect circles
A rhythm with no repeat sign
Prime numbers and clock drift suggest a music practice experiment: repeat two patterns until they meet. Imperfect circles are a useful drawing of the attempt.
One hinge at a time
A small repair starts with one hinge. A paper prototype helped me try the motion; imperfect circles and a few recorded clicks made a better guide than a perfect drawing.
Kitchen leftovers
Small worlds after dinner
A bowl of leftover soup looked surprisingly like a tide pool. I sketched the shapes, then added a note about the fungal networks in the garden. Three very different small worlds on one page.

Late-night radio gave me an idea for a cardboard instrument. It cannot transmit anything, but the sketchbook now has a home for the hums, clicks and found sounds I keep collecting.
The clock that refuses to agree
The kitchen clock slowly drifts away from the radio time signal. Comparing their rhythms turned into a music practice idea: count patterns of three and five and listen for where they meet.
Library margins
The odd shelf at the edge of town
A wrong turn led to a quiet second-hand bookshop. Inside an old book, a receipt was still serving as a bookmark. I kept a note about that small keepsake and the words in the margins.
The recipe card worth keeping
The stained recipe card tells me more than the perfect food photograph. A pencilled correction in the margin saves the soup, and the handwriting brings back the person who taught me to make it.

Night walks
An unfinished route home
Urban maps can leave room for story seeds. Night walks collect found sounds without needing to turn every sound into a destination.
Mushrooms after the last bus
Night walks after rain reveal fungal networks at the edge of a wall. Weather diaries give useful detours a reason to return to that corner.
Old keepsakes

Primes on the garden path
A repair sketch turned into a paper bird with one moving joint. Spacing the folds with prime numbers produced an awkward little hop: a useful detour from the original plan.

Quiet places
The odd shelf at the edge of town
A wrong turn led to a quiet second-hand bookshop. Inside an old book, a receipt was still serving as a bookmark. I kept a note about that small keepsake and the words in the margins.
Listen to the space around a call
Birdsong is easier to hear in quiet places. Tide pools and slow attention are other invitations to notice the gaps as well as the events.
Repair rituals
Patience with a hinge
The squeaky hinge needed a small repair and a little patience. I listened after each adjustment: first a click, then a whisper, then something like a very small complaint.

A soup with a foreign policy
Sourdough diplomacy pairs well with soup geometry at a shared table. Story seeds begin when the starter is promoted to chair of tiny experiments.

The useful wrong turning
Useful detours lead to quiet places that urban maps barely describe. Slow attention gives one small street enough room to become interesting.

Interactive website sample · Invented dataView sample image ↗
Try a different question. Follow a link between two subjects you would not normally put together, then open the records that connect them. What detail did you overlook? What would be interesting to try next? The Map offers the records; the interpretation is yours.
This website sample uses invented notes and a curated set of connections. Select a theme to explore; the full PCS app offers additional record and layout controls. These examples illustrate browsing saved content, not automatic psychological insight.
Read the connection, then its evidence
A node’s count is the number of supporting current records, not confidence or independent conversations. A line means both labels occur in the same supporting records. Select a line for Why connected? , expand source excerpts, and open the original record inspector. Colors group layout neighborhoods; closeness alone is not a relationship.
Use search, filters, zoom, pan and up to three pins. Switch between Connections, By group and Circle, or drag themes into your own arrangement. Positions are retained in the encrypted vault; Reset layout returns to an automatic arrangement. The keyboard-friendly List view provides another way to browse. A single-record theme or link is a starting point to inspect, not additional certainty.
Compare last-saved dates—not past beliefs
Open Saved-date timeline below the graph, choose a UTC through-date and a 30- or 90-day window. Compare with the immediately preceding equal-length window. All dates has no equal-period comparison. The slider requests a new view when the change is committed.
These are current records’ last-saved or edited dates , not discussion frequency, belief strength, growing interests or the date an event happened. Correcting a record can move it to another period. Deleted records and earlier revisions are not reconstructed by moving backward in time.
Follow a displayed path
Choose two visible themes with Find a path and inspect each step of the shortest displayed route. Two-step connections follow existing links through a middle theme; they do not invent direct links between endpoints. A path can suggest a question, but it does not prove agreement, causation or a dependency. To carry a record into conversation, open Library → Continue this thought and review the draft first.
Understand the coverage
The overview scans up to 300 matching memories and 128 notebooks with bounded text, showing at most 30 themes and 120 connections. Evidence cards are paged. Date filters apply after the bounded scan, so counts may not describe an entire large vault. Use saved-word scope to narrow the underlying records. Empty results do not prove that no meaningful connection exists.
Exploring the Map does not rewrite saved memories. An explicit edit in the full record inspector can change the vault, and manually arranged positions are saved. Pins and search focus are temporary; Lock clears the private view. The Map does not prevent already-enabled screen sharing from capturing visible records.
