45Your Mind

Your mind, as light.

Mind is one place for your notes, what Milo remembers, and the map of both. The map is not a folder tree: it is a dark field with one bright core, and every group of linked ideas glowing in its own colour around it.

The map on a black field, beside the words Your notes and a list of six named clusters with their counts. One small bright core sits in the middle; fine threads fan out from it to six glowing orbs, each ringed by a small star cluster of its own colour — cyan, gold, violet, pink, teal and yellow. The field turns slowly once and settles. — **The map** · one slow turn, then still · recorded on the second-brain surface before it moved into Mind (a still is shown under reduced motion)Product capture · offline-os 2026-09-26

The look45.1

A field of light, not a diagram.

The style comes from the reference James gave — the "visual cortex" map in a video of a JARVIS-style workspace. The words are Milo's own; only the style is borrowed.

01A black field. Carbon, edge to edge. Nothing is written on it.
02One bright core in the middle: this second brain.
03Each cluster an orb in its own light, ringed by a star cluster of its members in the same light.
04Fine threads fan from the core to every cluster; the light pools where they cross.
05A card names the light under the pointer; the list beside the map names each colour in words.
06Glow is stacked circles with light adding up. The brand allows no gradient objects, and the map uses none.

What each line means

A link you wrote — solid.

A note that names a goal or project — dotted. Extracted and inferred stay distinct.

A project under its goal — brighter.

The fan from the core — says only that each cluster is in this second brain.

Every line but the fan is a link that exists. Clusters are laid out once by the engine; the surface only draws.

Motion45.2

It turns once, then holds still.

One slow turn with light running the threads over the brand's 24-second ambient duration, easing to a stop. Then nothing is drawn until something changes.

Under reduced motion it does not turn at all. It moves only while it is on screen, and no frame may take more than a quarter of the frame's time (10 Motion).

One place45.3

Map, Notes, What Milo knows.

Three tabs under one heading, "Your mind", with one search field for all of them.

The Mind place in the window, Map tab: the field of glowing clusters fills the page, with a coloured key of cluster names and counts under it and a legend of line kinds. — **Map**aa5b73a

The Mind place, Notes tab: a list of notes newest first with their dates, and on the right the folders Milo reads and an Add button for another folder. — **Notes**aa5b73a

The Mind place, What Milo knows tab: About you, What Milo learned, and How Milo sounds, each a short block with a character count and an Edit or Write it button. — **What Milo knows**aa5b73a

Drawn by Qt offscreen at 2560 × 1600, web-sized to 1600. One of the map's own lines reads "Could not read your mind's map" in these captures; it is shown as captured, not retouched.

Access45.4

The map works without a pointer.

Tab reaches it and draws the 2 px Vermilion ring; the arrow keys walk the lights, cluster by cluster.

Colour never names a cluster alone: the key under the map names each colour in words.

Keys and names

Input	Does
`Tab`	Focus the map; a 2 px Vermilion ring (15.02)
`←` `→` `↑` `↓`	Walk the lights: each hub, then its members; the card names the one reached and it is said aloud
`Return` / `Space`	Open a note, or light one cluster alone (again on the core lights them all)
`Esc`	Close

A light answers within 12 px of its centre; a cluster's orb within 1.6 × its radius. The map is named as a graphic with how to use it.
