WTF IS THIS?

The Feed asks you questions about current events, media, and information. Based on your answers, it shows you where you likely stand in the information landscape—and what you've probably never seen.

The piece isn't about whether you're right or wrong. Everyone stands somewhere. The question is whether you knew you had a position.

How It Works

You'll answer 10-15 questions about how you encounter information, what sources you recognize, and how you understand certain events. The system uses documented research on media ecosystem clustering to map your answers to a position in the information topology.

The piece then shows you:

• Your inferred position in the information network
• Which information clusters are adjacent to yours (what you might encounter)
• Which clusters are distant (what you'd almost never see)
• How the same events were framed differently in different ecosystems
• Stories that were major news in distant clusters but never reached yours

What This Isn't

This isn't mind-reading. We can't see your actual feed history. We're showing you statistical patterns based on documented research, not certainties.

This isn't about being in a "bubble" being bad. There's no view from nowhere. Everyone occupies a position in the topology. The piece isn't telling you you're wrong.

The Real Point

You experience your feed as "the world." It's actually a highly specific slice constructed to maximize engagement. You can't evaluate what you never encountered.

The violence is in the invisibility of the structure itself. The piece makes visible what's usually invisible: the topology of information ecosystems, the paths between them, and your position within it.

You are here. You could only ever be somewhere. The question isn't how to escape your position—it's whether you knew you had one.
