Cognitive Topology

How Karl’s mind works — mapped across 12 dimensions

This mind builds from accumulated frameworks rather than axioms (bottom 0%), reasons from intuition and structure rather than data (bottom 0%), and is strongly past-anchored in reasoning (bottom 8%).

Stylometric Provenance

Each instrument measures one axis of stylistic distance from the LLM baseline (n=30). Larger values mean the prose sits further from the baseline centroid. The composite weights function-word distribution at 0.5, the others at 0.2 / 0.2 / 0.1.
