1. How to Use Cognography

Cognography is a simple tool to understand how you perceive, judge, and structure reality — a Cognitive Positioning System (CPS) like GPS, but for your mind.

Start

  1. Go to Cognography.xyz.
  2. Explore or rotate the grid.
    • (Desktop): Right-click to rotate. Use the mouse wheel to zoom.
    • (Mobile): Pinch to zoom. Use one finger to turn the grid.
  3. At the centre, you’ll see a small pyramid of golden blocks: a single block at the top, two side-by-side blocks in the middle, and an illuminated row of three blocks at the base.
    • Top single block → Terms of Use
    • Middle two blocks → How to use the system (FAQ)
    • Bottom illuminated three blocks (“BODIN”) → Interactive assistant that determines your coordinate
    You can evaluate the map first, then select the illuminated base to open BODIN.
  4. In BODIN, choose a Conversation Starter:
    • “Getting started with Cognography” — overview of all 27 coordinates
    • “Map your coordinate within Cognography” — quick test (more context → more accurate)

Notes

  • The more that is mapped within the grid, the more interesting Cognography becomes.
  • The three-question test provides a quick, low-accuracy coordinate. For more precision, reflect on how you truly perceive, judge, and structure your life. The more context you give, the more accurate the result will be.

1A. 코그노그래피 사용 방법

코그노그래피는 현실을 어떻게 인지·판단·구조화하는지를 보여주는 인지 위치 시스템(CPS)입니다.

시작 방법

  1. Cognography.xyz에 접속하세요.
  2. 그리드를 탐색하거나 회전해 보세요.
    • (데스크탑) 마우스 오른쪽 버튼으로 회전, 휠로 확대/축소
    • (모바일) 핀치로 확대/축소, 한 손가락으로 회전
  3. 중앙에서 작은 금빛 블록 피라미드를 볼 수 있습니다. 위에서 한 개, 가운데 두 개, 아래는 빛나는 세 개의 블록입니다.
    • 맨 위 단일 블록 → 이용 약관
    • 가운데 두 블록 → FAQ / 사용 가이드
    • 아래의 빛나는 세 블록(“BODIN”) → 좌표를 산출하는 대화형 어시스턴트
    먼저 지도를 둘러본 뒤, 아래의 빛나는 세 블록을 눌러 BODIN을 시작해도 됩니다.
  4. BODIN에서 대화 시작 옵션을 선택하세요:
    • “코그노그래피 시작하기” — 27개 좌표 개요
    • “코그노그래피에서 좌표 매핑하기” — 짧은 테스트(맥락을 많이 줄수록 정확도 상승)

1B. コグノグラフィーの使い方

コグノグラフィーは、認知（知覚）・判断・構造化の働きを可視化する認知位置システム（CPS）です。

スタート方法

  1. Cognography.xyz にアクセスします。
  2. グリッドを探索／回転してみましょう。
    • (デスクトップ) 右クリックで回転、ホイールでズーム
    • (モバイル) ピンチでズーム、一本指で回転
  3. 中央に小さな金色ブロックのピラミッドが見えます。最上段に1個、中央に2個、下段に発光する3個のブロックです。
    • 最上段の単一ブロック → 利用規約
    • 中央の2ブロック → FAQ / 使い方ガイド
    • 下段の発光する3ブロック（「BODIN」） → 座標を判定する対話型アシスタント
    まず地図を眺めてから、下段の発光ブロックを押して BODIN を開始しても構いません。
  4. BODIN 内の会話スターターを選びます：
    • 「コグノグラフィーをはじめる」 — 27座標の概要
    • 「コグノグラフィーで自分の座標をマッピングする」 — 簡易テスト（文脈を多く与えるほど精度向上）

2. Cognography – FAQ (Lite Version)

  1. What is Cognography?

    A Cognitive Positioning System (CPS) that maps Perception, Judgment, and Structure into 27 coordinates — showing how the mind moves and organizes experience.

  2. Am I stuck in one box?

    No. Think of it like a formation in sport: structured positions, but always in motion. Cognition adapts dynamically.

  3. What does “where we sit in relation” mean?

    It’s conceptual. Some types take a broad, top-layer view; others focus on concrete, ground-level detail. Both perspectives matter.

  4. “That’s not how I think.”

    Variation is expected. Some minds are highly structured; others are looser. Cognography makes patterns visible — not prescriptive.

  5. Why would this system be valid?

    How we organize thought mirrors how we organize life. Different structures, same goal: workable navigation.

  6. Why build it?

    To give a clear, reusable scaffold for cognition — like anatomy provides foundations for art.

  7. What is “map and map reader”?

    The map is the 27-coordinate grid; the reader is BODIN, which interprets and interacts with it.

  8. Why use AI?

    Because cognition is dynamic. AI adapts to your context instead of remaining static like text-only guides.

  9. Why is context important?

    Without context, meaning collapses. Cognography restores enough context to compare perceptions and judgments fairly.

  10. What does it actually map?

    Three core functions: Perception, Judgment, Structure.

  11. What are Triforms?

    Triforms are the three golden blocks on each coordinate face that indicate orientation:

    • Blocks to the left → engaged with the outer world; adaptable and present-focused.
    • Blocks to the right → engaged with the inner world; reflective and inward-focused.
    • Blocks in the centre → balanced between inner and outer.

    Triforms are dynamic. Under stress, their position can shift (e.g., from right to left within the grid).

  12. Why are all coordinates the same colour?

    To emphasise cognitive inclusivity — visualizing differences without hierarchy.

  13. Is this a personality quiz?

    No. It focuses on the structural sequence of cognition rather than traits.

  14. Is it scientifically proven?

    It draws on a century of cognitive psychology and expresses it as a visual, interactive framework rather than a book.

  15. How do I find my coordinate?

    Start with the three-question test in BODIN. Add contextual detail — experiences, decisions, reflections — to refine accuracy.

  16. How accurate is it?

    It scales with your effort. More context yields a clearer, more precise mapping.
