A PERGUNTA
Why is housing unaffordable in our cities?
Sala de registo público. Os seus cartões são afirmações que pessoas fizeram na discussão pública; onde cada uma foi dita está listado no acervo, sob essa afirmação. Um painel de modelos de linguagem clarificou os cartões e julgou os pares: este mapa é a forma como os modelos estruturam o que o público diz, não o que um grupo de pessoas concluiu. Só conta com outras salas de registo público. Investigação relacionada: diga a um modelo quem ele é, e os seus juízos causais mal mudam, e é por isso que este painel julga como ele próprio, sem personagens.

Os agrupamentos formam-se pela semelhança; os nomes vêm no fim
Ordem canónica: ligue pares de ideias que considera semelhantes — as ligações são simétricas (A~B é B~A; a direção nunca importa) e uma ligação mantém-se quando 2 membros a fazem.
porquê
As ligações são simétricas — A~B é B~A. Os agrupamentos são os conjuntos que surgem das ligações que se mantêm, e só um agrupamento formado pode receber um nome, dado por uma pessoa. As suas próprias ligações têm um ✕ para as retirar; não pode remover as de outra pessoa. Os agrupamentos organizam o mural e nunca condicionam o voto — dois cartões que fazem a mesma AFIRMAÇÃO são uma fusão, no Esclarecimento.
