Semantic Bathymetry™

An AI system for capturing the structure of a population's implicit mood and feelings — where it is settled, and where it is shifting.

The surface

A topographical map of human sentiment.

Every response is mapped across six axes, capturing a population's emotional stance as a continuous 3D surface. Sharp, low-temperature attractors rise where associations pile up and agree; smooth, high-temperature basins spread where meaning remains unsettled.

A three-dimensional semantic landscape: sharp attractor peaks of low temperature rise on the left while smooth diffuse spaces of high temperature spread to the right
The sounding chart: attractors are regions of high consensus; diffuse spaces are regions of high variance.

The six coordinates

Six axes. One continuous shape.

Every association a population makes resolves onto six affective axes. Plotted together they form a single continuous shape — as distinctive as a coastline, and read the same way.

The six-coordinate compass: Approach versus Avoidance, Safety versus Threat, Power versus Powerlessness, Trust versus Suspicion, Moral Sanction versus Transgression, and Vitality versus Depletion, plotted together as one continuous star-shaped form
  • Approach vs Avoidance — orientation vector
  • Safety vs Threat — security baseline
  • Power vs Powerlessness — agency capacity
  • Trust vs Suspicion — reliability index
  • Moral Sanction vs Transgression — integrity boundary
  • Vitality vs Depletion — momentum energy

The six-coordinate model — a population's sentiment, plotted as one continuous form.

From the chart to the vault.

The map is only the beginning. Insightvault is where the terrain is analysed, interrogated, and watched for drift.
