A small practice in borrowing carefully
The Question
Orchard
One idea can become a lens.
Several lenses can become a conversation.
Grow a map of what four theories might borrow from one another. Keep the missing bridges visible. There is no winning arrangement.
Begin with a question ↘Three invitations, not solutions
Take a walk. Then change it.
Loading a walk replaces the map; Undo brings your previous map and notes back.
Or begin with the empty map below. Choose a recipient, inspect a possible donor, and decide what kind of bridge to draw.
Your living map
No bridges yetArrows carry a proposed tool from donor to recipient. Dashed = open question; solid = working assumption. Neither means “proven.”
Go to selected bridge ↓The bridge ledger
No truth scoreAn empty map is an invitation, not a failure.
A record of your current questions
Connections are not conclusions.
A path means that you linked proposals. A loop can be fertile or circular. Neither topology establishes scientific support. Any edit retires this record until you make another.

What the sources propose
Seed ontologies (2018) treats IIT, FEP, CSHW and STV as an ecosystem: each brings a distinctive tool and has gaps it might address by borrowing. Its twelve donor–recipient suggestions motivate this map. Johnson argues for ambitious unification but says he is unsure what several of those unifications would require. The essay’s claims about evidence and the state of the field are historical positions, not an up-to-date scientific review.
Rescuing Philosophy (2017) argues for generative problem-carving, feedback from domains that push back, and care about importing packaged ontologies. The essay also makes institutional criticisms; this app does not turn them into a rating of institutions.
The complete hosted mental-moves Note (October 27, 2025) distinguishes stabilizing a new lens from gaining cognitive-emotional freedom. It offers a speculative vasocomputational account and discusses Land and “whitepill” philosophy. We borrow the invitation to learn a move, not the physiology or shock-therapy framing.
What this atlas invents
The orchard, arrow directions, three walks, question/assumption statuses, missing-bridge prompts, graph calculations and your notebook are authored teaching devices. Bridge wording is a cautious paraphrase, not a quotation or an executable unification. A donor’s tool points toward its prospective recipient; reciprocal arrows are different proposals.
What is not established
Drawing a connection proves nothing about consciousness, valence, physics or the truth of these theories. The four lenses are not an exhaustive map of the field. No neural processes, therapy or wellbeing are simulated. No “best” graph is hidden here.
