Store Tab:

• List of published Mindware content
• Displayed in card grid format
• Filterable by search bar and category filters

My Library Tab:

• Purchased or freely accessible content
• Your own Mindware also appears here

My Models Tab:

• Register and manage your concept structure models (CCM groups) as Mindware
• Available for Personal plan and above

4.2 Content Card Layout

Each Mindware content item is displayed in card format.

4.3 Content Detail View

Click a card to open the detail page.

Detail Page Layout:

• Hero image (large cover image)
• Title and author name
• Full description
• List of connected models (which text columns they were built from)

2. Review the content on the detail page
3. Click the “Purchase” button
4. Stripe checkout opens in a new tab
5. Enter credit card information and complete payment
6. After checkout, you return to ThinkNavi
7. Content is added to “My Library”

Subscription-based Content:

Some content uses monthly billing. It auto-renews until canceled.

4.5 Exploring Models in the Explorer

Opening content takes you to the Explorer view.

Network View

Displays the concept structure using an SVG-based 2D graph.

Display Elements:

• Nodes (circles): Concept representative points. Color-coded by cluster. Size proportional to data volume
• Edges (lines): Connections between nodes (MST)

Operations:

• Click a node → Node detail panel appears
• List of assigned text chunks
• Summary of each chunk
• Values for each dimension
• Cluster ID

Exploration View

Statistical list view of clusters and nodes.

Display:

• Cluster list
• Expand a cluster → Top texts (summaries of representative data)
• Node list and their data assignments

Source Text Context View

View the original text of data assigned to a node with surrounding context.

Operations:

1. Click a node to open the detail panel
2. Click the “View Context” button for assigned data
3. Previous 2 chunks — Current chunk (yellow highlight) — Next 2 chunks are displayed

4.6 AI Chat (Agent)

AI chat is displayed in the right panel of the Explorer. It enables conversations leveraging the model’s knowledge.

Operations:

1. Enter a question in the text input field
2. Send to have the AI search the model and respond

Context Integration:

• Select a node or cluster in the Network View and click the “Ask AI” button
• Selected context information is automatically inserted into the chat

AI Response Principles:

• AI directly quotes original text from nodes in the model
• AI does not use its own knowledge or interpretations
• If no relevant information is found, AI honestly states so and suggests related topics within the model’s scope
• Source node IDs are included in responses

Tools Used by AI Internally:

• search_nodes(query, model?): Search nodes by text query
• get_node_detail(node_id, model): Get full node details
• get_cluster_details(cluster_id, model): Get cluster dimension profile and member nodes
• get_table_data(filter?, columns?, limit?, offset?): Search the original data table

Note: AI may convert questions to English before searching (if the model data is in English). Searching works correctly even when asking in Japanese.

4.7 Dialektike (Discourse Dojo)

A gamification feature for deepening understanding of model concepts through Socratic intellectual dialogue.

Starting Discourse Dojo

1. Click the scales button in the Explorer view
2. AI chat switches to “Discourse Dojo Mode”
3. Click the “New Question” button

Flow of Discourse

1. AI selects a random text from the model and presents an intellectual question based on it
2. User responds freely
3. AI acts as an equal dialogue partner:
4. Presents its interpretation with evidence (text citations from the model)
5. Counters weak arguments with specific counterexamples
6. Poses exploratory questions about conceptual boundaries
7. Through repeated dialogue, deepen understanding of concepts

Session Management

• Click the “History” button to view past discourse sessions
• The first question and answer of each session are shown as preview
• Select a session to reload it
• Unnecessary sessions can be deleted
