Knowledge model v2

Separate the problem from the method.

The original Brali catalog mixed goals, methods, professions, philosophies, and subject areas into 49 Growth Zones. The new ontology keeps those URLs stable but gives each concept a clearer role.

Where

Domain

Broad area of life or work, such as Learning & Thinking or Health & Energy.

What

Topic

The concrete problem or capability: Memory, Task Initiation, Sleep, Conflict & Repair, Career.

How

Method

A named structured approach such as WOOP/MCII, Retrieval Practice, TRIZ, ACT-derived, or CBT-derived techniques.

Think like

Lens

A transferable way of thinking borrowed from QA, architecture, detective work, chess, Stoicism, or other disciplines.

The practical stack

Domain → Topic → Hack → Protocol

Compatibility rule

Existing /life-os/{zone}/ URLs are not renamed or deleted. Growth Zone is now a legacy collection label; every old zone maps to a Topic, Method, or Lens. Individual reviewed classifications can add a concrete Topic without changing the legacy URL.
