`Introduction`

Bridging Fractals and Thought

🧩 Drawing from chaos theory and graph theory, Neurite unveils the hidden patterns and intricate connections that shape creative thinking.

For over a year, we've been iterating out a virtually limitless workspace that blends the mesmerizing complexity of fractals with contemporary mind mapping technique.

`Why Fractals?`

The Mandelbrot Set is not just an aesthetic choice - fractal logic is ingrained into a countless number of natural and constructed phenomena - from polynomial equations, to art and music - even the cosmic web.

🌀 Fractals act as the cross-disciplinary framework for non-integer dimensional thought - where conventional notions of 4D spacetime are put into question.

The goal of this project is to grow agentic graphs of fractal creativity & collaboration.

`First of its Kind Fractal Zoom`

neurite.network is unique in its ability to seamlessly navigate the Mandelbrot set in real time! 🚀

Movements through the fractal are no longer interrupted at each step. Instead, the rendering persists and regenerates as you interact...

`Why Nodes?`

Nodes represent text, images, videos, code, and AI agents. Together, they thread a personalized microcosm of your thoughts and inspirations. 🔭

neurite.network connects physics simulation of graphs with an underlying fractal topology to kinematically define interactive, iterative, and modular graphs of ideation.

In Neurite, you don't just interact with AI; you grow its contextual memory, thanks to:

Structured Memory Mapping: Anchor the AI's thought process as notes within an evolving fractal mind map.
Graph your AI Conversations: Segment AI's responses into a cohesive web of thought that both improves AI reasoning and allows for the history of your chain of thought to dynamically construct the Ai's memory.
Interactive Fractal Network: Neurite's fractal interface acts as a personal, emergent, and contextually aware database of knowledge.
Intuitive Note Navigation: Effortlessly access and pull your notes into view, no matter where they are within the fractal landscape.

Fractals are the rabbit hole for endless exploration of thought!

`Multi-Agent UI`

🤖 Build Multi-Agent Chat Networks 🤖💬🗨️🤖🗨️🤖

Connected Ai nodes send messages to one another. This idea contains endless possibilities. (Hold Shift + Click two node windows to connect. Click connections to change their direction. Shift + Double Click to delete.)
Supports Local and Cloud based models concurrently.

flow-based Ai-Agents ⛓️💭

🔄 Message Looping: Initiate conversational threads across connected AI nodes.

Prompt Generation: Upon connection, AI nodes are programmed to end responses with a question or prompt, which is then sent to any other connected nodes.
Ai Logic Circuits:
- Determine Conversation Hierarchy: Take control of Ai conversation flows via Neurite's modular user interface. Adjust the direction of conversation across connected Ai Nodes between two-way, sending, or receiving.
Graph Context:
- Networked Instructions: Ai nodes read all connected graphs.
- Shared Instructions: Compare Various Ai Models from the same set of prompts.
Connect Data:
- Read Connected Web-Link Nodes: Connect webpages and Ai nodes to utilize RAG search for that document. Create specialized autonomous agent swarms via mind-mapping.

`User Guide`

To run Neurite locally,

either:

Clone the repository
Navigate to the cloned directory in your terminal (either main or local-ai branch)
Install any necessary global dependencies when running the below, (Vite)

npm install
npm run build
npm start

*optionally run npm start:host to access Neurite from devices connected to the same network.

Navigate to localhost:8080 in your browser.
Ensure the Localhost Servers are running to leverage Neurite's full capabilities.

`Local Server Setup`

The Localhost Servers are an important component of Neurite that serve as an optional backend and enable complete functionality.

Download Localhost Servers here.

*alternatively clone the entire repo.

The servers enable the local Vector Database, webpage/pdf text extraction, Wolfram Alpha Results, and Wikipedia Results.

The localhost servers require npm and Node.js
Without any servers running, Wolfram, Wiki, the Vector Database and Webpage extractions will not function.
All servers can be run with one command. Download the Localhost Servers folder, or find it in your cloned directory. Once navigated to the Localhost Servers folder in your command line, run

  node start_servers.js

This will install and run all of the servers at once. They'll work on our Github pages host of Neurite, or any other way you locally access the interface.

As of our recent update, the servers now support an Ai proxy that connects Neurite to any inference backend.

`Final Notes`

Search: Our distinctive search mechanism transports you through your intricate web of thoughts, directly zooming to the node you are looking for. The navigational experience isn't just a gimmick; it also helps to reinforce the spatial memory of where that piece of information resides within the larger framework.
Saving: Your networks can be saved within the browser cache, or downloaded as a .txt file. Drag the .txt file into the save box, click load on the imported file, then click the second load button to display the network. 💾 Saving has been significantly enhanced! Now, node interactivity, fractal settings, and the Zettelkasten sync all fully restore when loading networks from the save tab...
Zettelkasten and Mind Mapping: Create nodes through custom-defined syntax, or create nodes through UI interaction within our fractal workspace, who's contents are bi-directionally linked to the main Zettelkasten document.
Fractals: We achieve real-time navigation of the Mandelbrot set by capturing a sparse set of points from the fractal and connecting them through SVGs. From there, we dynamically adapt the level of detail based on your viewport and cursor position. This evolving method is what ensures seamless fractal generation, interaction, as well as an expanding array of customizability options.

Neurite realizes tapestry of thought reasoning for Ai, all within our innovative real-time Mandelbrot visualization.

Talk to the custom GPT, Neurite GPT with access to Neurite's code and readme. (This is not the ai that interacts with Neurite itself)

Long Term Memory for Ai

Neurite incorporates note-taking to retain a non-linear conversation history.
We feed both the recent conversation as well as any matched notes that are not already in the recent conversation as part of the context message to the Ai.
This means retaining relevant information from any part of the conversation regardless of the Ai's context window size.
Still, advancements in context window size only further enable Neurite's performance.

`Neural API`

Experimental Update: Function Calling Panel

This feature is a terminal that allows you to execute Neurite's code from within Neurite itself.

Included with the function calling panel update is our Neural API. The Neural API is a growing collection of existing features within Neurite, made for sequencing animations of function calls. The current features include:

Animate movements through the Mandelbrot set
Determine exact coordinates to zoom to
Call GPT 4 Vision to determine the next movement (set number of iterations)
Create notes
Prompt the Zettelkasten Ai
Prompt the user
Search and Zoom to Notes

You can call on GPT to construct the sequences of function calls itself. It has access to the documentation.

For the current documentation, try calling the below from within the function panel:

const neuralAPI = neuralApiPrompt();
console.log(neuralAPI);

The current Neural API documentation will display in your call history for the function calling panel as well as in your browser console.

There will be more information on this soon. This is a new feature in initial release.

`Future of Neurite`

Neurite is a recursive environment for thought. The project combines fractals, mind-mapping, and ai to enable an experimental, yet powerful playground for research, code generation, writing, learning, and visualizing connections.

🚧 Neurite is in active development. 🚧
