Every link you create in Polylude offers potential to inspire thoughts in other playpens. Most visibly, through the concept side-buttons for showing other, related concepts.

The ‘Original Context’ Link

Often one player will think about a concept quite differently to those who build on their ideas. To reveal the context to show these differences in intended meaning, a more indirect kind of link is created from the concepts and links to their ‘original context’.

The link to the originals is shown when a concept is selected, at the bottom of the context pane. Tapping the ‘original context’ link (or o key) takes you to the original playpen.

Exploring by Text

As playpens get larger, finding specific ideas within them, ideally, should remain easy. Polylude offers a few tools. Seekers for defining idea patterns, or simpler text matching through the finder.
