Recursive Conceptual Flowchart

An experimental application exploring conceptual reasoning as an interactive, structured process, rather than as instructions, plans, or autonomous actions.

This project demonstrates a working system that expands ideas recursively into a visual flowchart of conceptual structure, allowing users to orient their thinking without being told what to do.


Overview

Most AI tools attempt to be helpful by producing answers, instructions, or plans.

This project explores a different question:

Can AI help people clarify, structure, and orient their thinking without giving procedures, operational guidance, or prescriptive decisions?

The system produces conceptual expansions only.
Each interaction reveals related concepts, categories, or dimensions of a topic, rather than steps or solutions.

Users decide what to explore next.


What This Demonstrates

This repository demonstrates:

  • Recursive expansion of concepts into structured branches
  • Human-guided exploration rather than autonomous agent behavior
  • A bounded reasoning loop with explicit user control
  • Visualization of conceptual structure as a flowchart
  • Safe-by-design behavior across arbitrary domains

The result is a flowchart that represents how an idea can be structured and progressively clarified, not how it should be executed.


Conceptual Orientation (In Progress)

While the system intentionally avoids procedural execution, it is designed to support conceptual convergence.

This means helping users:

  • Identify which branches are most relevant
  • See how concepts relate or depend on one another
  • Understand what questions meaningfully follow from the current structure
  • Reduce ambiguity without prescribing action

This layer is still evolving and is an active area of exploration.


Design Philosophy

This project is built around the following principles:

  • Conceptual, not instructional
  • User-directed, not agent-driven
  • Structured, not verbose
  • Explicitly bounded and non-autonomous

The system intentionally avoids:

  • How-to content
  • Task automation
  • Operational instructions
  • Prescriptive decision making

These constraints are deliberate and foundational to the design.


Status

This is an early but functional prototype.

Current focus areas include:

  • Stability of recursive expansion
  • Coherent conceptual behavior
  • Visual representation of structure
  • Clear separation between conceptual mapping and execution

Some internal components are intentionally abstracted or omitted from this repository.


Scope & Disclosure

This repository is intended as a proof of concept and portfolio artifact.

It does not disclose:

  • Prompt engineering or enforcement logic
  • Internal reasoning frameworks
  • Safety or constraint mechanisms
  • API keys, environment configuration, or deployment details

Further development continues privately.


Intended Use

This project is exploratory and educational in nature.

It is suitable for:

  • Demonstrating systems thinking and architectural design
  • Exploring safe, human-in-the-loop reasoning tools
  • Portfolio discussion and technical review

It is not intended as a production decision system or planning engine.
