Consilience
(Currently building)An AI learning tool that fosters transdisciplinary exploration.
While today's AI tools prioritize quick, isolated answers, we transform how learners interact with knowledge. When users input an image or question, the tool generates multi-disciplinary questions—like exploring gravity through biology.
By mapping connections between diverse fields, Consilience helps learners discover unexpected insights, restoring the natural serendipity of learning that's missing in digital research.

Scenario 01
Using consilience, the learner can refine their exploration of death of nature,
post-Anthropocene thought, and plant science by synthesizing resources and identifying an anchor that bridges these directions.

Scenario 02
Using consilience, the learner can navigate the challenge of defining a thesis topic by drawing connections between diverse interests—hyperlinks, non-linearity, and knowledge management—to uncover a compelling starting point.
Scenario 03
Using consilience, the learner can approach the design of a game on carbon-based economies, climate debt, or decolonized climate futures by mapping interdisciplinary insights to shape a strong foundation.
