An uncensored field of inquiry for ideas beyond the usual view. Search the web, literature and chosen collections, examine the evidence, and follow what calls for closer understanding.

See the sources behind a discovery
Explore key works and source cards alongside a research answer, then follow the evidence that matters to you.
01 Discovery with direction
A broader search.
A deliberate scope.
Esoteric knowledge is scattered across archives, translations, specialist collections and the wider web. Acuity.Search brings multiple routes of discovery into one place, with a scope you can shape.
Start broadly, look for a particular work, or focus on a group of domains. Choose the approach that suits the question rather than treating every inquiry the same way.
Explore the capability
Look beyond the familiar results.
Research across the wider web and archival sources. Ask a broad question or follow a precise lead, bringing less visible material into an inquiry you can inspect.
- Explore a theme across multiple discovery sources.
- Choose a Quick pass or a more extensive Deep investigation.
- Open the source links and evidence behind results.
Explore the capability
Find the work behind the idea.
Look for books, scripture, historical works and relevant editions. A named translation or catalogue entry can be the beginning of a more careful reading.
- Keep author, translator and edition information where available.
- Distinguish full-text excerpts from snippets and catalogue records.
- See when a scan lacks readable text or a work is unavailable.
Explore the capability
Choose where the inquiry looks.
Focus a search on curated groups of sources relevant to a topic or tradition. Refine the field with included and excluded domains, so the scope reflects your study.
- Explore topic-specific collections and their source lists.
- Include relevant domains or exclude unwanted ones.
- Keep your search scope visible as the research develops.
Shape the field
Use literature and collection modes to narrow your inquiry. Follow a tradition, investigate a topic or direct attention towards a chosen set of sources.
Synthesise when it helps
Read the evidence directly or request a synthesis of the findings. Follow references back to their sources as you consider the explanation.
02 From a lead to understanding
Discover freely.
Read discerningly.
Uncensored exploration leaves room for unfamiliar perspectives and neglected material. Visible evidence helps you decide what deserves attention, how much is accessible and what needs further reading.
Evidence, made visible
A result is an
invitation to inspect.
Expand the evidence behind a result. Keep the title, edition and source within reach, and know whether you are looking at a passage, a snippet or a catalogue lead.
Illustrative evidence states
Full-text excerpt
Read what the source actually says.
A retrieved passage can be inspected alongside its source link. Open the evidence, follow the reference, and decide how it supports the interpretation.
Source & editionCoverageReference
Uncensored inquiry. Sources you can inspect. Explore unfamiliar ideas, read across traditions and form your own interpretation. Keep the original wording, its historical context and the evidence within reach.
03 Keep the trail
A discovery should
have somewhere to go.
A useful result can become the beginning of a personal study. Keep the sources together, share a research trail or bring the findings into a Codex Context Sphere.
Share the research
Create a read-only research link so another person can follow the findings and inspect the supporting sources.
Keep a portable record
Export a readable Markdown research record, or keep a structured research bundle for continuing the work elsewhere.
Preserve the evidence trail
Keep available passages, source references and synthesis together. A later interpretation can still be traced back to the material it used.
Discovery → Personal context
Add to Codex.
Research from inside a sphere can return to that sphere. Research begun from Codex Home can open a new one. The selected sources and saved synthesis become material for further questions, notes and Studio creations.

A few useful distinctions
Room for
understanding.
What does uncensored discovery mean here?
Acuity.Search is designed for broad inquiry across the web, archives and specialist collections, including esoteric and less visible material. You can shape the source scope and inspect what was actually found. Source availability and the amount of accessible text remain visible.
Does every result include a full text?
No. A result may offer a full-text excerpt, a shorter snippet, a catalogue record or a scan without readable text. The evidence view distinguishes those states so you can assess the result on its actual coverage.
How does this differ from Acuity.Agent?
Search discovers material across a wider field of online sources. Agent begins with the knowledge available in its curated archive and explores it conversationally. Codex is the personal workspace in which selected research can develop.
When can I begin?
Acuity.Search is coming soon as part of Acuity.One. The open Library is live now, with source editions and study material available to browse and read.
One connected field of exploration
Acuity.One
Explore, consume, synthesise, personalise and interpret. The Acuity tools bring different ways of knowing into a shared pursuit: personal development, considered practice, and understanding that inspires, unites and harmonises.
