≈ Flowscape — Water Logic

"From any input, any system with a finite number of states and a tiring factor<br>will always reach a stable repeating loop." — Edward de Bono

A thinking tool for pondering things. Not a hierarchy. Not pros and cons.<br>A flow — where each thought leads to ->, until a loop surfaces.

What is a Flowscape?

Think of it as a shortform mindmap with a disclosed loop .

You write one-liners about a problem. You connect each one to where it naturally leads to.<br>The structure that emerges — collector points, chains, stable loops — tells you something<br>the list alone never could.

Bored → Open phone → Scroll → Compare → Feel bad → Post → Anxiety → Check phone → Scroll<br>↑_______________________________________________↑<br>the loop surfaces

The loop is the thing. It's where the system keeps returning. Change a path, insert a node,<br>and watch which loop dominates. That's the intervention.

Run it

Download index.html and open it in your browser. That's it.

No server. No install. No account. One file.

How it works

Step<br>Action

1. Add nodes<br>Type one-liners about your problem, press Enter. Each gets a label A, B, C…

2. Connect<br>Right-click a node → Add path TO… — where does this naturally lead?

3. Weight<br>Right-click an edge → Make strong path — mark the most likely direction

4. Set entry<br>Click ★ to set the starting point — the list reorders by flow

5. Read<br>A Collector is where many paths meet. A Stable loop is where the system settles

de Bono's rule: each node has exactly one strong out — the one thing it most leads TO.<br>Many nodes can flow IN. One flows out. That constraint is what makes the loop surface.

Two views, one model: the List and the Graph stay in sync — edit in either.

Share a Flowscape

Flowscapes live in your browser's localStorage — private, instant, no cloud.

Export → downloads the current Flowscape as a .json file

Import → merges from a .json file (safe, deduplicates by ID)

Send the file. They open it. Same Flowscape, their browser.

Six Thinking Hats

Tag any node with a de Bono thinking hat to mark what kind of thought it is:

Hat<br>Mode

White<br>Facts / information

🟡<br>Yellow<br>Value / optimism

Black<br>Risk / caution

🔴<br>Red<br>Feeling / intuition

🟢<br>Green<br>Creativity / ideas

🔵<br>Blue<br>Process / control

The idea behind it

Rock Logic asks "Is this true?"<br>Water Logic asks "What does this lead TO?"

Most thinking tools are built on rock logic — categories, criteria, pros/cons.<br>Water Logic is different. It models flow : the way attention, habit, and perception<br>actually move through a system. The loop that surfaces isn't a failure — it's the answer.<br>It shows you where the system is stable, and what you'd need to change to shift TO it.

de Bono called it the Flowscape. We built a tool for it.
