Draft Space & grounding

The one surface built for prose — yours to write — and how nodes get grounded in real material.

Draft Space#

Draft Space is where the person writes. Logos never writes into it. The page starts blank and stays yours; Logos responds beside it, and the one action that proposes wording at all — Refine — lands on the page only when you apply it.

A draft belongs to its line of thinking: it is saved with the session (autosaving as you type), reopens with it, and sits beside the same map that produced the thinking it argues. Draft Space is a Socria One surface.

The five selection actions#

Select any passage of your draft and five actions appear:

Clarify

What are you actually trying to say?

Challenge

Where this gives way.

Trace

Which of your thinking — which real nodes on the map — this passage rests on.

Research

What is known about this; the only action that searches the web.

Refine

Same meaning, clearer.

The map, while you write#

As you write, the map softly lights the nodes your current passage rests on — computed by plain word overlap, no model call, so it costs nothing and cannot editorialize. From any node’s menu, Hold in view pins that node (with its lineage) beside the draft — keeping the reasoning in sight without copying a word of it into the text.

Grounding nodes in your material#

Add context, on any node’s menu, attaches real material to that node — up to four pieces. Paste it, upload it, or bring a page from the web. Attaching triggers a fresh map extraction, because grounding can legitimately sharpen a node. Grounded nodes wear a small paperclip badge with the count.

Research and sources#

Wherever Logos searches, only what was genuinely fetched is ever shown. In Explore and Research on a map node, the sources the reasoning actually drew on are marked cited, ahead of the rest of what the search returned; the draft’s Research action lists what the search returned, shown for you to judge. If the deployment has no search provider configured, the thinking still happens — with zero sources, rather than invented ones. No fabricated studies, no imagined citations, and thin evidence is called thin.

Connected accounts#

Logos was built to read your own material through connected accounts — Google Drive (Docs and Sheets), Calendar, Gmail, and Notion — through a per-user, read-only OAuth flow with tokens encrypted at rest. These connectors currently ship dormant. Google’s Drive and Gmail scopes are restricted APIs whose public approval requires a paid third-party security assessment; rather than gate the product on that, Socria ships with connections off, and Paste, Upload and Web cover the same ground with no setup. Operators can re-enable the flow — see the technical reference.
