Wires are context.

No hidden memory selector. What the model sees, why, and what was removed stay visible in the graph.

Visible Editable Inspectable
01 · The problem

Chat history is long. Context is still invisible.

The interface shows what was said, not which history enters the next request.

02 · Externalize

Ask from the source. Clip what matters.

Ask from a selected passage, or turn a passage or figure into its own source-linked node. Provenance stays attached; context remains yours to wire.

03 · Inspect

Before sending, inspect what the model will read.

Preview source nodes, order, and token count. Context is no longer a hidden decision.

04 · Edit

Delete one edge. Ask the same question again.

The removed branch really leaves the request. The answer changes with the context.

05 · The protocol

Most canvases organize information. ThoughtDAG edits context.

You decide what enters and leaves. The graph is the context protocol before generation.

1 / 5 Invisible context

The graph is not a picture of context. The graph is the context.

ThoughtDAG walks the incoming edges of a node, orders the relevant ancestors, and builds the message sequence sent to the selected model. The structure stays visible, editable, and inspectable.

Branch

Explore another interpretation without overwriting the path that led you here.

Prune

Keep a useful detour on the canvas while excluding it from the next request.

Merge

Bring selected evidence and reasoning paths back together in one answer.

Inspect

Preview what the model will receive before generation. No hidden memory selection.

CONTEXT REPAIR PILOT

LLM context as an editable graph

ThoughtDAG turns context into a graph you can branch, merge, prune, and rebuild, so what the model sees can follow the way your thinking changes. Our first pilot shows how one error can survive downstream.
