About
Reasonscape maps reasoning as a multi-threaded outline. We're testing whether running individual sessions with residents from different cultures, then dialoguing through the combined map, surfaces shared structural reasoning instead of stalling.
Impact
Cross-cultural dialogue on hard questions (conflict, ethics, values) often stalls in tribal positioning. Testing whether structured reasoning maps help groups bypass that and find real common ground matters for any deliberation across difference.
Progress
Built a Reasonscape prototype. Selected as research contributor to Edge Esmeralda 2026, where the cross-cultural population is the ideal test setting. Running parallel pilots on personal reflection, philosophical deliberation, & agent representation
Team
Building Reasonscape after years at the intersection of philosophy, AI strategy (McKinsey), and computational biology (UPenn). Background in cross-cultural civic deliberation. Real user of the tool myself on hard normative questions of my own.
