Status: Conceptual design, In/Tension tool in progress
Repos: this-yet-that
The Mirror
A persistent space for self-knowledge and alignment. For individuals, it is where goals, values,
and preferences accumulate over time. For groups, it becomes a facilitation space for surfacing
shared intent and competing priorities.
Goals
What the user is trying to achieve — immediate objectives and longer-term aspirations.
Values
What matters and why. Priorities, principles, and non-negotiables that guide decisions.
Preferences
How the user likes to work — communication style, detail level, pacing, modality.
Expertise
What the user knows and doesn't. Domain knowledge, methodological fluency, skill levels.
Ethics
Moral commitments and constraints. Boundaries the system should respect and reinforce.
Tensions
Competing goods that must be balanced. Where the In/Tension modeling tool lives.
Cross-cutting interfaces: The Mirror informs every capability — Library (expertise, vocabulary), Guide (goals, preferences), Agency Dial (learning posture), Orchestration (what methods to surface)
