Frame
Frames are interpretive overlays. Where categories slot a signal into the corpus and tags annotate it, a frame is a view — a curated set of signals seen through one lens. Frame sets are workspace-scoped and shared across every session.
Frames vs. categories vs. tags
A signal has exactly one category (its primary slot) and many tags (free-form labels). A frameis different — it’s a saved point of view that picks out signals matching some shape, without mutating them. The same signal can show up in many frames at once.
Frame sets
Frames are organized into frame sets at the workspace level. A playbook ships with one or more frame sets — for example, a STEEP set for political/economic/social/technological lenses, or a Three Horizons set for near/mid/far time framing.
Working with frames
Open the Frames tab on a session to see signals projected through each frame in the workspace’s active sets. Frames are a read surface — to change what falls into a frame, edit the signal’s underlying fields, not the frame itself.
