Your knowledge map

The knowledge map is a picture of what you've been studying — the ideas that keep coming up in your notes and how they connect.

Where it comes from

You don't build it. Selah watches both your notes and your conversations with the companion, and automatically pulls out the beliefs and concepts you've articulated — no manual tagging, no "add to doctrine" step. It runs as a background process every time you write or talk something through, adding to the map overnight as you keep studying.

Early on it will look sparse. That's honest — it only knows what you've actually written or said.

Importing existing material

Have sermons, notes, or a study you already wrote somewhere else? Open Knowledge and use Import, in the top right. Markdown, Word docs, PDFs, plain text, and CSV all work, and so does a full export from Notion, Obsidian, or Google Docs, zip and all. Each file becomes a note, and Selah reads it into the map the same way it reads anything else you write.

Reading the map

Concepts are dots, and lines between them mean the two showed up together in your thinking. Zoom in and names appear; zoom out and it's the shape of your study.

Drag a concept to move it. Selah remembers where you put it, so an arrangement that makes sense to you stays put.

Opening a concept

Tap a concept and you get what you've actually said about it, grouped four ways:

• What you believe — positions you've stated
• Still working through — where you've written both sides, or changed your mind
• Where you've seen this — the passages you've connected to it
• In your words — your own sentences, quoted, with links to the notes

That "still working through" group is deliberate. A study habit that runs for years includes changing your mind, and the map shows that rather than flattening it into a single settled answer.

Two things you can do from a concept

Explore with Selah starts a conversation about the concept, with your own material already in hand. It fills the message box and waits — it never sends without you, and never overwrites something you were part-way through typing.

Sharpen this belief is the harder one. Selah pushes back on a position you hold, using your own notes and the passages you've cited. It asks questions anchored in Scripture; it does not grade your reasoning and does not hand down a verdict on the doctrine. Use it before you teach something, to find the weak joint while it's still cheap to fix.
