Know
yourself,
on purpose.
Ryzhome captures your decisions, holds you to your predictions, and consolidates scattered thought into genuine self-knowledge — backed by your own markdown and Claude.
Read the thinkingThe model knows facts.
It can’t help you know yourself.
Knowledge that dies after one use.
You read, reason, decide — and it evaporates. Nothing compounds.
Decisions you never learn from.
No closed loop between what you predicted and what actually happened.
Open loops as background anxiety.
Unfinished commitments live as weight, not a list you can put down.
Three loops.
One examined life.
Capture
Decisions, learnings, and open loops — in plain markdown you own.
Predict
Commit a falsifiable prediction and a review date. Then live it.
Consolidate
A weekly pass replays, distills, and cross-links — like sleep for thought.
Local-first.
Yours to keep.

Source of truth. Portable. Obsidian-readable.
Ryzhome takes its name from rhizome— a root system with no central trunk. Connection over hierarchy, growth from any node, alive underground. That’s how thought actually works.
Expansion is fuel.
Self-knowledge is the method.
Wiser living is the point.
Most tools for thought are vaults — places to store what you already know. Ryzhome is the opposite: a companion that pushes your reasoning, holds you to your predictions, and quietly compounds scattered notes into genuine self-understanding. It’s an idea developed in the open.
