Your guide to how we publish
Five Pillars, One Map. A quick guide to what we publish, how posts are organized, and where to begin for the most insight in the least time
Welcome to The Galactic Mind.
This page is your quick guide to what we publish, how posts are organized, and where to start for the most value in the least time
What we publish
We work inside a small set of repeatable formats so you always know where you are.
- Case File
- Tight investigation of a single event, claim, or incident
- Includes timeline, source table, contradictions map, and a short What If section inside the post
- Dossier
- A living briefing that maps a complex topic, person, or place with sources, timelines, and competing theories
- Ends with a What If section inside the post to test scenarios
- Deep Think
- Long form arguments and thought experiments
- Uses models, diagrams, and opposing views
- May include a What If section to probe edge cases
- Signal Check
- Fast updates on notable news stories and/or cultural chatter
- Clear links to sources
- Speculative
- Short reads from fringe culture and emerging lore
- Labeled clearly with source type and reliability notes
- Our imaginative sandbox
Note: What If is not a pillar. It is a short scenario section that appears inside Case Files, Dossiers, and Deep Thinks.
Labels you will see
- Facts: directly supported by the source list
- Inference: reasoned steps that follow from facts
- Speculation: ideas that need new data or tests
We also use quick status tags such as Tracking, Resolved, and Needs Data.

Tags and navigation
We keep tags simple so browsing is fast.
1) Pick a pillar
Choose how deep you want to go.
Dossier · Signal Check · Deep Dive · Case File · SPEC
2) Use the search bar
Type a topic or phrase to jump straight in.
Try: tic tac, Gobekli Tepe acoustics, "AI consciousness", Skinwalker timeline
3) Follow the tags
Each post has one pillar tag and a few topical tags.
Click any tag to see everything under it.
Examples: ufo-uap, ancient-history, government-docs, paranormal, philosophy
Use the search bar and links to hop across pillars and even within the same theme.
