02 · Intellectual Collision Engine

Meet the field you did not know you needed.

Tell it what you know. It finds a discipline that holds the missing piece, explains the connection, proposes one concrete question you could work on together, and checks the literature to see whether anyone is already standing at that boundary.

People on the team

The engine also looks here for people at the other end of a collision. This list is written by hand and fully editable: open this page with ?edit to add yourself or change a card. Keep the last line of each card as the words that describe the person’s interests.
