Investigation Details

Case Type: investigation Urgency Level: routine

Notes

Writing the book that doesn't exist yet.

The Thesis: Four boring premises → one forced loop → cross-domain convergence typed by the same functor → what it feels like to see this.

Structure:

• Part I (Ch 1-3): The Ground - premises and derivation
• Part II (Ch 4-6): The Corollaries - attention, agency, the loop
• Part III (Ch 7+): The Poetry - prophets, isomorphism across eras

Method: Dry technical first → podcast with NotebookLM → dive into the poetry

Previous run: yoneda-lemon → buttocks-are-a-lie → hyperfocus → all-you-need-is-love treatise

This case tracks: Research, evolution, thinking, dead ends, discoveries. The temporal dimension.

The nodes track: Output artifacts, chapter drafts, structure. The spatial dimension.

📋 Case To-Do List

This case has an integrated to-do list system that syncs with the Oculus knowledge graph. The to-do list uses the virtual:todo-list fence which auto-detects GitHub-style checkbox markdown.

How the To-Do System Works

• Auto-Detection: Checkbox lists are automatically detected as virtual:todo-list fences
• Alice Integration: Display in Alice dashboard using :::wonderland-todo-list slug="${current_case}"
• ISA Operations: Use fence exec for add/check/update operations
• Metadata Support: Add [assignee:name] [priority:level] tags to tasks

Case To-Do Operations

• View state: oculus fence list ${slug} then oculus fence view ${slug} <fence-index>
• Add task: oculus fence exec ${slug} <fence-index> add "New task"
• Check task: oculus fence exec ${slug} <fence-index> check 0
• Update task: oculus fence exec ${slug} <fence-index> update 0 "Updated content"
• Reference: See virtual-fence-todo for full documentation

Current Case Tasks

• 🎯 Solve the case
• 📝 Document findings in investigation notes
• 🔗 Link relevant evidence and consciousness resources
• ✅ Update case status when complete

Next Steps

Add investigation notes and evidence tags as you progress. The to-do list will evolve with your investigation. Tasks can be managed via Oculus fence operations or edited directly in the node.
