"How do humans come to see something new?"

Research Program

This page is the public entry point to a unified long-term research program on Structure Recognition — investigating how humans discover structure, assign meaning to it, and generate research questions.

The program began with specific Boolean function phenomena observed in Karnaugh maps and has expanded toward a broader meta-theoretical framework, with branches into human-AI collaboration and education.

Concept Genealogy

The sequence below records the actual historical development of the research program — not a logical reconstruction, but a trace of discovery:


Pattern
1st observation: Karnaugh map checkerboard patterns for XOR/XNOR functions
Layer Structure
Discovery: Hamming Weight layers explain the positions of symmetric function patterns
Equivalence
Observation: different variable arrangements can yield the same structural pattern
Structural Invariance
Question: what exactly is preserved across variable rearrangements?
Structure Recognition Theory
Meta-question: why do certain structures become research-worthy while others do not?
Human-AI Collaboration Model
Observation: humans discover structure; AI expands the explanation space — division of cognitive labor
