Bridging Fractals and Thought

…the fractal dimension.

🧩 Drawing from chaos theory and graph theory, Neurite unveils the hidden patterns and intricate connections that shape creative thinking.

For over two years we’ve been iterating out a virtually limitless workspace that blends the mesmerizing complexity of fractals with contemporary mind-mapping technique.

📢 Major Update: Neurite Desktop

The Mandelbrot Set is not just an aesthetic choice – fractal logic is ingrained into a countless number of natural and constructed phenomena – from polynomial equations, to art and music – even the cosmic web.

🌀 Fractals act as the cross-disciplinary framework for non-integer dimensional thought – where conventional notions of 4D spacetime are put into question.

The goal of this project is to grow agentic graphs of fractal creativity & collaboration.

Nodes represent text, images, videos, code, and AI agents. Together, they thread a personalized microcosm of your thoughts and inspirations. 🔭.

neurite.network connects physics simulation of graphs with an underlying fractal topology to kinematically define interactive, iterative, and modular graphs of ideation.

Complexity Inspires Simplicity / Basins Attract

Whether you’re a researcher, writer, artist, developer, educator, or simply a curious thinker, Neurite offers a departure from the conventional interface. It’s an interactive landscape tracing your ever-branching pathways of thought.

Movements through the fractal are no longer interrupted at each step. Instead, the rendering persists and regenerates as you interact…

neurite.network is unique in its ability to seamlessly navigate the Mandelbrot set in real time! 🚀

UI Tips

  • Optimal Node Placement: Zoom in Scroll to create space for new nodes to ensure they have room to expand.
  • Managing Windows: Drag windows by their title bar and resize by scrolling while holding Shift.
  • Freezing Nodes: Hold Shift to freeze nodes in place, then Double Click nodes to anchor them in place.
  • Ai Tutorial: The HOW-TO checkbox sends a context message to the AI that allows it to answer some questions about Neurite.

Synchronized Knowledge Management

Markdown formatted, bi-directional synchronization between UI-focused Mind-Mapping and text-based hyperlinking.

  • FractalGPT: Engage with non-linear, rhizomatic memory through our biomimetic interface.
  • Local AI: Privacy-focused, connect to any locally hosted instance of Ollama or your own custom endpoint.
  • Vector Embeddings: Grow a database of memories that can switch out as context for an increasing number of Ai systems.
  • Chaos and Order: Navigate through the depths of Neurite’s non-linear environment at the boundary between stability and disorder.

  • Dynamic Fractal Backdrop: Interactive, multi-media orchestration.
  • Zoom-to-Node: Navigate directly to and between nodes within the Mandelbrot set.
  • Bi-Directional Sync: Real-time updates between Mind Map and Zettelkasten.
  • Zettelkasten and Mind Mapping: Nodes are dynamic objects that can be interacted with from any approach.
  • Endless Exploration: Build custom interfaces within Neurite for any task you have in mind.

Build your Zettelkasten through UI interactions in the Mind Map, and reciprocally shape the Mind Map through text-based note-taking in the Zettelkasten. This navigational fluidity offers unprecedented control over both the granular and macroscopic perspectives of your information.

Not your typical chat interface

In Neurite, you don’t just interact with AI; you grow its contextual memory, thanks to:

  • Structured Memory Mapping: Anchor the AI’s thought process as notes within an evolving fractal mind map.
  • Graph your AI Conversations: Segment AI’s responses into a cohesive web of thought that both improves AI reasoning and allows for the history of your chain of thought to dynamically construct the AI’s long term memory.
  • Interactive Fractal Network: Neurite’s fractal interface acts as a personal, emergent, and contextually aware database of knowledge.
  • Intuitive Note Navigation: Effortlessly access and pull your notes into view, no matter where they are within the fractal landscape.

Fractals are the rabbit hole for endless exploration of thought!

Forget tabs! Neurite is all about graphs. Open as many browser windows as you want and display them side by side in our infinite fractal canvas.

Download the latest version of Neurite Desktop

The desktop release includes a full web browsing experience within link nodes — no more restrictions on which links you can open.

  • Forward and backward navigation built into each link node
  • Create new link nodes by directly dragging out URLs See the above gif
  • Works with any site, no sandboxing limitations
  • Runs and updates the Localhost Servers for you

This is a highly experimental feature in early release.

*macOS does not have code signing and requires workarounds to open.

*Windows requires clicking past the security warning on first open.

Experimental Update: Function Calling Panel

This feature is a terminal that allows you to execute Neurite’s code from within Neurite itself.

Included with the function calling panel update is our Neural API. The Neural API is a growing collection of existing features within Neurite, made for sequencing animations of function calls. The current features include:

  • Animate movements through the Mandelbrot set
  • Determine exact coordinates to zoom to
  • Call GPT 4 Vision to determine the next movement (set number of iterations)
  • Create notes
  • Prompt the Zettelkasten Ai
  • Prompt the user
  • Search and Zoom to Notes

You can call on GPT to construct the sequences of function calls itself. It has access to the documentation.

For the current documentation, try calling the below from within the function panel:

const neuralAPI = neuralApiPrompt();
console.log(neuralAPI);

The current Neural API documentation will display in your call history for the function calling panel as well as in your browser console.

There will be more information on this soon. This is a new feature in the initial release.
