Dialectica is a graph-based reasoning system that treats arguments as structured objects rather than pure text. It connects premises and conclusions through logical relationships and constructs directed graphs to support computational reasoning analysis. The project is built using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, with the goal of exploring whether human reasoning can be represented as computable structures.
Section 01
Dialectica is a graph-based reasoning system that treats arguments as structured objects (not just text) connected via logical relations into directed graphs. Built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, its core goal is to explore whether human reasoning can be represented as computable structures. This thread breaks down its design, tech stack, progress, and potential applications.
Section 02
Traditional note and knowledge management tools focus on information storage/retrieval but ignore how humans reason—connecting views, identifying support/contradiction, evaluating argument strength. Dialectica aims to formalize this reasoning process into a structured, computable system.
Section 03
Dialectica’s core concept: "Storage is for notes, modeling reasoning is for Dialectica."
Section 04
Architecture layers: Controllers (API handling), Services (business logic), Repositories (database abstraction), Models (data structure/validation), Engine (future reasoning core), Jobs (background tasks like validation). Tech stack: Node.js (async runtime), Express.js (RESTful API), MongoDB + Mongoose (flexible document storage), dotenv (environment management), CORS (cross-domain support).
Section 05
Completed: Express backend setup, MongoDB integration, argument/relation models, basic API endpoints, core architecture design. Planned:
Section 06
Inspired by dialectics (advancing understanding via contradiction) and formal logic. Core question: Can human reasoning be represented as computable structures without oversimplifying to notes/keyword links? It sits at the intersection of AI and cognitive science, balancing reasoning richness with computability.

Dialectica is open-source under MIT license. Early-stage project offers opportunities to contribute to core features (graph algorithms, frontend, API, docs). Ideal for developers interested in reasoning systems, knowledge graphs, or critical thinking tools.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
A self-hosted MCP server that provides cross-session persistent coordination, task management, event bus, and observability for AI agents. It supports 35 tools and can be integrated into clients like Claude Code and Cursor with zero code changes.
