As a person quite obsessed with studying high dimensional semantic spaces, I do get a little bit of anxiety from the idea of arbitrarily privileging 2 dimensions. I often think on paper but use nodes and lines to allow more complicated connections than with 2 named dimensions. I guess this is just brain storming, but I often like to copy the graph to a separate sheet of paper allowing related concepts to move closer together as I re-examine them.
I think when trying to explore all possible possibilities I like to collect relevant propositions and explore the ways they could be true, false, or failing to have a truth value. That tends to generate more propositions that can become parts of the list or re-examined. It does unfortunately feel quite ad-hoc.
I created a more general map of methods of thinking but didn’t finish yet.
Yes, but processing 3D and more is difficult and representing on paper also difficult. Therefore, several 2D slices of mental hyperspace can work. You can have a look on last version but it is in Russian.
I’m thinking more about high dimensional webs unrolled and projected into 2d with annotations if any higher dimensional structure is important. Trees and graphs, basically.
Your link is pretty cool. Thanks. I skimmed with use of google translate.

I’d be interested if you ever do finish this : )

Actually, I have metaethic classification in my again unpublished yet article about badness of death
It needs large revision as a lot of work now can be done by LLM. Levenchuk is making now 1M size prompts which teach LLM “system thinking”.
That’s cool but also kinda freaky.
