Builder of worlds of knowledge
I build Noosaga, a map of human knowledge across more than 1,500 fields, and Nousfarer, the game in which you sail it.
The structure of every field, mapped
Noosaga maps how fields of knowledge are built: the frameworks of each subfield on a timeline, how they relate, the concepts each one teaches and the order to learn them in, with an article for every step. It is organised in four levels, from categories and disciplines down to subfields and their frameworks, and spans more than 1,500 fields, languages among them.
noosaga.comA game you learn by exploring
You are a scholar-captain aboard a Byzantine palace that sails between galaxies of knowledge. Each planet is a field; its city's towers are the field's frameworks. You climb a tower storey by storey, reading at the lectern and answering its guardian, and earn your way to the crown.
Play in the browserEvery planet is generated from its field, with its own sky, weather and land, around a city whose plan stays the same, so a captain always knows the way. In the centre stands an acropolis, and round it rise the Scholar's Towers: one for each framework, taller the more it shaped its field.
The ship is a palace in space: a throne room for a bridge, a council chamber with an orrery, a museum the captain fills with the works they collect. Every room is built in stone and gold, and in the gems of the game: turquoise, malachite, carnelian, moonstone, citrine.
The durable solution first, the root cause fixed, never a feature switched off to hide a fault.
Tests and automated reviews never prove that a lesson is right. Learning content is read by a person before it ships.
Every visual change is captured in the real game, compared before and after, and judged by eye.
