Introduction
Bridging Fractals and Thought
💡 neurite.network unleashes a new dimension of digital interface...
...the fractal dimension.
🧩 Drawing from chaos theory and graph theory, Neurite unveils the hidden patterns and intricate connections that shape creative thinking.
For over two years we've been iterating out a virtually limitless workspace that blends the mesmerizing complexity of fractals with contemporary mind-mapping technique.
📢 Major Update: Neurite Desktop
Why Fractals?
The Mandelbrot Set is not just an aesthetic choice - fractal logic is ingrained into a countless number of natural and constructed phenomena - from polynomial equations, to art and music - even the cosmic web.
🌀 Fractals act as the cross-disciplinary framework for non-integer dimensional thought - where conventional notions of 4D spacetime are put into question.
The goal of this project is to grow agentic graphs of fractal creativity & collaboration.
Why Nodes?
Nodes represent text, images, videos, code, and AI agents. Together, they thread a personalized microcosm of your thoughts and inspirations. 🔭.
neurite.network connects physics simulation of graphs with an underlying fractal topology to kinematically define interactive, iterative, and modular graphs of ideation.
Complexity Inspires Simplicity / Basins Attract
Whether you're a researcher, writer, artist, developer, educator, or simply a curious thinker, Neurite offers a departure from the conventional interface. It's an interactive landscape tracing your ever-branching pathways of thought.
Movements through the fractal are no longer interrupted at each step. Instead, the rendering persists and regenerates as you interact...
neurite.network is unique in its ability to seamlessly navigate the Mandelbrot set in real time! 🚀

FractalGPT
Not your typical chat interface
Modular Conversation
In Neurite, you don't just interact with AI; you grow its contextual memory, thanks to:
Structured Memory Mapping: Anchor the AI's thought process as notes within an evolving fractal mind map.
Graph your AI Conversations: Segment AI's responses into a cohesive web of thought that both improves AI reasoning and allows for the history of your chain of thought to dynamically construct the AI's long term memory.
Interactive Fractal Network: Neurite's fractal interface acts as a personal, emergent, and contextually aware database of knowledge.
Intuitive Note Navigation: Effortlessly access and pull your notes into view, no matter where they are within the fractal landscape.
Fractals are the rabbit hole for endless exploration of thought!

Neurite Desktop
Unchain from the traditional limitations of a browser
Forget tabs! Neurite is all about graphs. Open as many browser windows as you want and display them side by side in our infinite fractal canvas.
Download the latest version of Neurite Desktop ↓
The desktop release includes a full web browsing experience within link nodes — no more restrictions on which links you can open.
- Forward and backward navigation built into each link node
- Create new link nodes by directly dragging out URLs
See the above gif- Works with any site, no sandboxing limitations
- Runs and updates the Localhost Servers for you
This is a highly experimental feature in early release.
*macOS does not have code signing and requires workarounds to open.
*Windows requires clicking past the security warning on first open.
Neural API
Experimental Update: Function Calling Panel
This feature is a terminal that allows you to execute Neurite's code from within Neurite itself.
Included with the function calling panel update is our Neural API. The Neural API is a growing collection of existing features within Neurite, made for sequencing animations of function calls. The current features include:
Animate movements through the Mandelbrot set
Determine exact coordinates to zoom to
Call GPT 4 Vision to determine the next movement (set number of iterations)
Create notes
Prompt the Zettelkasten Ai
Prompt the user
Search and Zoom to Notes
You can call on GPT to construct the sequences of function calls itself. It has access to the documentation.
For the current documentation, try calling the below from within the function panel:
const neuralAPI = neuralApiPrompt();
console.log(neuralAPI);
The current Neural API documentation will display in your call history for the function calling panel as well as in your browser console.
There will be more information on this soon. This is a new feature in the initial release.
