# IDEOLOGOS

> Socratic AI philosophical coaching platform with persistent epistemic memory. Challenges your reasoning, tracks belief evolution across sessions, and maps your philosophy through 7 adaptive discourse modes.

IDEOLOGOS is a web application for philosophical inquiry. Unlike generic AI chatbots that optimize for agreeableness, IDEOLOGOS uses the Socratic method to genuinely challenge users' thinking. It remembers philosophical positions across sessions, builds a knowledge graph of beliefs, detects tensions and contradictions, and tracks how thinking evolves over time.

## Core Features

- **Epistemic Memory**: Tracks concepts, claims, and definitions across all sessions. Ideas build on each other over months of dialogue.
- **7 Discourse Modes**: Builder, Socratic, Challenger, Clarifier, Explorer, Synthesizer, and Flourishing — adapts approach based on user readiness.
- **8 Philosophical Domains**: Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Philosophy of Mind, Political Philosophy, Aesthetics, Philosophy of AI, Philosophy of Psyche.
- **Philosophical DNA**: Generates a visual profile of your philosophical positions across all 8 domains.
- **Concept & Claims Graph**: Visualize your philosophy as an interconnected knowledge graph with claims, relations, tensions, and belief evolution.
- **Belief Evolution Tracking**: Detects when you change your mind, refine positions, or retract claims — maps how your thinking develops over time.
- **Obsidian Export**: Export everything to Markdown with YAML frontmatter and wikilinks.

## What Makes It Different

- **Anti-sycophancy**: Designed to challenge, not validate. 56.7% of ChatGPT responses are sycophantic — IDEOLOGOS pushes back.
- **Persistent memory**: Most AI chatbots forget between sessions. IDEOLOGOS remembers your beliefs, tracks contradictions, and builds on prior conversations.
- **Growth through friction**: Uses Socratic questioning, tension detection, and adaptive discourse modes to promote genuine philosophical development.
