The Frontier Atlas · Console
A map of what is still open.
474 open problems and 438 established results across 102 domains — one graph, not three lists. Edges are typed: proves, supports, suffices, partial. The headline is not a number; it is the void — across 154 typed edges, exactly one crosses from one domain to another.
e.g. “union-closed sets” · “what is
justice” · a claim ID like p-math-func-0007

Three ways in
You arrived with one of three intents
The finding
The void matrix — 154 typed edges, and exactly one crosses a domain boundary. Start here if you want the argument, not a lookup.
02 · BrowseA domain or field
Enter through mathematics, science, or the humanities — each with its own axes, because “open” means something different in each.
03 · Look upA specific problem
Every problem is a page with a permalink, a credence, its neighbors in the graph, and a revision history. Cite the line, not the site.
The finding
The void matrix
Each cell is a pair of fields; brightness is the number of typed edges linking them. The blocks on the diagonal are fields reasoning about themselves. Everything off the diagonal is one field speaking to another — and it is almost entirely black. One cell is lit gold: Bell’s theorem, a result in mathematics, supporting the measurement problem, an open question in physics. Out of 154 edges, that is the whole of the traffic between domains. The darkness is the finding.
192 nodes · 154 typed edges · blocks are Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Hubs · hover a cell to name the pair. The single gold cell is the only edge in the graph that crosses a domain.

Lenses
Five views over one graph
Same canonical store, different projections. No lens is the “real” Atlas — each answers a different question, and the URL holds the state so any view is shareable.
The adjacency plate above, full-screen and zoomable. Where cross-domain sparsity becomes undeniable.
Constellation →The force-directed graph, bridges highlighted in gold. The topology you can walk.
Topology →Walls ranked by unmet research weight — where the most consequence sits behind the least progress.
Settledness →The credence spectrum, most of it honestly gray, with the contested-as-settled watchlist alongside.
Domains
One axis is global. The rest are native.
Across all three domains, every problem carries the same question — why it stays open: an evidential gap, a persistent conceptual knot, or a standing interpretive dispute. Only the first is where generate-then-verify does what it does in the sciences. Beyond that shared axis, each domain keeps its own. The humanities carry 287 nodes across 40 domains, including non-Western traditions, applied ethics, and the social-construction literature — added because their absence was the single most damaging critique this Atlas faced, and we published the audit that said so.
The graph itself
Take the whole thing
An atlas you cannot query is a picture, not an instrument. The canonical graph ships as data — the same commitment as the packages: don’t take our map’s word for it, run your own traversal.
