Cognitive Topology

How Charlotte’s mind works — mapped across 12 dimensions

This mind builds from accumulated frameworks rather than axioms (bottom 0%), writes in an exploratory, open-ended style (bottom 2%), and makes large conceptual leaps between ideas (top 6%).

Stylometric Provenance

Four stylometric instruments measuring how this prose patterns against an AI-generated baseline.

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.
