what it is
Thortspace is a kind of “cognitive lego”
It works by “capturing your thoughts”
ie. you write down your thoughts about something
(a project or a study topic or an investigation or a problem)
on little disc-shaped icons (called "thorts"),
and then assemble those thorts in alternative different configurations
to see what variety of different ways of understanding
the topic / project/ problem you can make.
This process gives rise to new perspectives and insights
which make you more effective
