The Stimpunks system map shows how the ideas, tools, and environments across this site connect.

Stimpunks is not a single project or document. It is a knowledge ecosystem and design framework for understanding neurodivergent life and building environments where diverse minds can flourish.

The system connects:

• ethics
• knowledge
• patterns
• design methods
• environments
• civilization

Each layer builds on the ones before it.

This structure explains how values eventually shape the environments people live in.

Ethics

The ethical layer defines the cultural foundation of Stimpunks.

See:

• Stimpunks Manifesto
• The Tenets of Stimpunks
• The Stimpunks Creed
• The Stimpunks Covenant

These pages explain why the project exists and how participants relate to one another.

Knowledge

The knowledge layer provides shared language and conceptual tools.

See:

• Glossary
• The Stimpunks Canon
• The Neurodivergent Knowledge Garden
• The Neurodivergent Design Catalog
• The Three Maps of Stimpunks

Language helps reveal patterns in neurodivergent life.

Patterns

Patterns describe recurring structures in experience.

See:

• Pattern Library
• Pattern Clusters
• Pattern Atlas
• Pattern Graph

Patterns help explain how cognition, environments, and systems interact.

Design Methods

Design methods translate patterns into practical action.

See:

• The Methods of Neurodivergent Design
• The Neurodivergent Design Framework
• The Neurodivergent Design Specification
• The Neurodivergent Environment Audit
• The Neurodivergent Design Checklist

Design methods help identify friction and guide improvements.

Environments

The environment layer explores real-world spaces shaped by neurodivergent design.

Examples include:

• Neurodivergent Homes
• Neurodivergent Libraries
• Neurodivergent Workplaces
• Neurodivergent Cities
• Designing Cavendish Space

These environments demonstrate how design can support diverse minds.

Civilization

The civilization layer explores long-term futures shaped by neurodivergent design.

See:

• Designing a Neurodivergent Civilization
• The Neurodivergent Civilization Atlas
• The Neurodivergent Civilization Project
• The Future of Neurodivergent Civilization

These pages imagine institutions and communities built with cognitive diversity in mind.

The Stimpunks Ecosystem

The Stimpunks system map is part of a larger framework.

Explore:

• The Stimpunks Operating System
• The Principles of Stimpunks
• The Neurodivergent Design Framework
• The Stimpunks Workflow

Together these pages describe how ideas become environments and how environments shape the future of neurodivergent civilization.
