How to Use

  • Click any gold node (above the line) to see the contradiction resolved, the architectural synthesis, and the Q4 specification.
  • Click any blue node (below the line) to see what it improved and why it remains incremental.
  • Use filter buttons to isolate Q4 syntheses, incremental steps, or radiation paths.
  • Click outside the panel to close it.

Learning Objective

Analyze major computing breakthroughs as contradiction resolutions (Bloom L4) and explain how each synthesis radiated into subsequent applications (L2).
