Scope · Experimental architecture

Building for
the scarcest one.

An experimental system architecture designed to detect attention fragmentation and test whether targeted intervention can restore cognitive control.

Scope does not currently claim to detect, restore, or prove anything about attention. It is an architecture being developed to test whether those things are possible.

The mark is the idea.

The dot is your attention. The ring is the work you chose. The gap is where Scope works.

A visual metaphor for the architecture being developed.

The intended architecture

Sense. Detect.
Intervene. Validate.

Prototype

Sense

Wearable sensing designed to capture physiological signals associated with cognitive state, continuously and unobtrusively.

Designed

Detect

Models designed to estimate fragmentation from the signal stream, with uncertainty quantified rather than hidden.

Designed

Intervene

An architecture for bounded sensory interventions, intended to act only when the estimated state warrants them, within safe limits.

Intended

Validate

Causal validation intended to test whether an intervention restored control, or merely coincided with it.

The thinking behind the work

The Oldest Problem
That Was Never Solved

The one thing AI can’t give you. An essay on attention, choosing, and finishing.
