Perspect3ve

What is Perspect3ve and what is it for?

Perspect3ve is a general-purpose user interface and browser for AD4M, a framework in which each person holds their own data and shares it directly with others. It lets someone gather linked notes and links into a perspective and publish it as a shared neighbourhood a group can work in together, so the same tool can serve as a malleable social network as well as a group collaboration space.

Perspect3ve is described in its own repository as the general-purpose user interface and browser for AD4M, the place where the same data can always be viewed in a generic way even when other AD4M apps offer a more specific view. The repository labels it work in progress and under heavy development.

In the tool, a person creates a perspective and adds expressions to it, linking them into a graph rather than filing them in folders. A perspective can be published as a neighbourhood that others join, which is why the repository calls it a very generic social app and group collaboration tool. Because a neighbourhood carries its own Social DNA rules, the interface can be adapted to a group's needs, turning the same tool into a specific app.

One documented use is that adaptation: a group publishes a perspective as a neighbourhood and the tool interprets that neighbourhood's Social DNA to shape what its members see. The repository lists what it implements — creating and linking expressions, a graph-based perspective view, publishing and joining neighbourhoods, and an early AI chat for Social DNA creation — and it is where the project is documented, rather than a separate website.
