Six things people actually bring here.

Every one below is the running product, not a picture of it — the same map component the app mounts, on real reasoning, mid-thought. Switch a lens. Drag the parameter. Nothing here is finished, because thinking that has been finished for you was never yours.

Socria Logos·Research

Reason across papers, not summaries of them

A literature review where two studies disagree and you need to know why.

Two papers on whether remote work hurts junior developers. One says yes, one says no.
Socria
They may not be measuring the same thing. One tracks promotion at 18 months, the other self-reported mentorship. Which is your claim about?

Three sources, two outcomes, one word doing double duty

The map holds each source separately from the claim it is being used to support. A disagreement that looked like a contradiction turns out to be two papers measuring different things — visible because the outcomes are their own nodes.

Socria Logos·Learning

Move the variable and watch what the concept does

A student who can compute a derivative and cannot say what one is.

A reasoning environmentBalanced
I can do the chain rule fine but I genuinely do not know what a derivative IS.
Socria
Then let us not define it. Pull h toward zero on the secant beside you and say what the line is doing — not what it equals.

-112342468h = 1.2PQ

Q slides toward P. The secant has to become something.

See the function.

The mathematics itself, with the parameter live — drag h

The parameter is a slider, not a sentence. Drag h toward zero and the secant becomes the tangent in front of you — the definition stops being a formula you accept and becomes something you watched happen.

Socria Logos·Deciding

See what the decision is actually resting on

Anyone circling the same choice for the third week running.

A reasoning environmentBalanced
Offered a job. More money, bigger company. I keep going back and forth.
Socria
You said "more money" twice and "I have stopped growing" once — and only the second came with an example. Which is the reason you are still thinking about it?

The decision, and the assumption quietly holding it up

Ask most tools to help you decide and you get a recommendation. Here the assumption underneath the appealing option is drawn as its own node, because that is usually the thing doing the deciding.

Socria Logos·Writing

Turn scattered thoughts into an argument that holds

An essay, a pitch, a paper — anything that has to survive a reader who disagrees.

A reasoning environmentBalanced
Arguing to abolish grading in first-year courses. Six reasons, no idea what order.
Socria
Order is downstream of load-bearing. Five of your six rest on one claim — that grades crowd out motivation. Is it the one you can defend best?

Five reasons resting on one, and the objection that threatens it

The strongest objection to your own argument gets a node of its own, sitting next to the claim it threatens. An argument you have not drawn is an argument whose weakest joint you have not found.

Socria Logos·Creating

Develop the idea without handing it over

A novel, a screenplay, a game — work where having it written for you defeats the point.

A reasoning environmentBalanced
My protagonist is meant to be sympathetic. Every reader finds her cold. Do not rewrite her.
Socria
I will not. She does things in eleven scenes and wants something in none of them. Cold may be a symptom of that rather than a trait.

Theme, characters, and the thing that is not yet working

Nothing here writes your scene. The map holds the theme, the characters and the thing that is not yet working, so the shape of the problem is visible while the prose stays yours.

Socria Core 3.1·Conversation

Or just think out loud, with something that pushes back

When you want the conversation and not the apparatus.

SocriaCore 3.1Balanced
I think I only want to do the PhD because I do not know what else to do.
Socria
A real reason, and not automatically a bad one — plenty of good work starts as a way of buying time. What would have to be true in three years for you to be glad you did?
I suppose that I still find the questions interesting.
Socria
Which questions? You said "the questions" rather than naming one — and you named three specific ones about the job you are avoiding.

Socria Core 3.1 — conversation, no map

Core 3.1 is the same posture without the map: it will not hand you the conclusion, and it will tell you when your reason is not the reason. No panel, no nodes — the thinking stays in the sentences.

Try this one

Bring the thing you are stuck on.

Logos is a model, not a page — it opens inside the chat you already have. Core 3.1 is there in the same picker when you want the conversation without the apparatus.
