Coretography System for Visual Value Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals face challenges in identifying and aligning their core values and life purpose, leading to confusion and difficulty in making life decisions and navigating relationships and situations effectively.
Innovation Solution
The Coretography system, which includes a worksheet, value chips, chip organizers, and a visual board, helps users map their human values and purpose by selecting and organizing relevant chips, using a bracketing template to prioritize values, and displaying them on a visual board for decision-making and daily reference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users attempt to identify and align their core values and life purpose through traditional self-help methods, then they may eventually gain self-awareness, but the process becomes confusing, time-consuming, and overwhelming
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex task of self-discovery into manageable components: (1) a library of discrete value chips representing different human values, (2) chip organizers that categorize values into groups, and (3) a visual board that structures the mapping process. This segmentation transforms an overwhelming monolithic task into organized, bite-sized selections that users can process systematically without becoming overwhelmed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-curating a comprehensive library of value chips that represent various human values and purposes. Instead of requiring users to generate all possible values from scratch, the system has already done the work of identifying, categorizing, and organizing these values into the library and organizers, allowing users to focus on selection and personalization rather than creation.
2Ease of operation
If users manually organize their values and purpose without structured tools, then they can express their thoughts freely, but the process lacks clarity and becomes difficult to reference for decision-making
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from one-dimensional linear lists of values to a two-dimensional visual board layout. This dimensional change allows users to spatially organize values across multiple categories simultaneously, creating a visual map that preserves all information while making it easily scannable and referenceable. The visual spatial arrangement enhances both simplicity of organization and clarity of the final mapping.
Solution Approach 2:
The visual board acts as an intermediary between the user's internal thoughts and external decision-making processes. It provides a structured intermediate representation that bridges the gap between abstract values and concrete life decisions, making the information both easy to organize and clear to reference when facing decisions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users create a comprehensive list of all possible values, then they ensure thorough coverage, but the complexity and difficulty of selecting relevant values increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The chip organizers segment the comprehensive library of values into thematic categories or groups. This segmentation maintains complete coverage of all possible values while reducing selection complexity by allowing users to navigate through organized categories rather than facing a single overwhelming list. Users can systematically work through segments to identify relevant values.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions or sections of the visual board can be assigned different qualities or focuses, allowing users to highlight or emphasize specific values relevant to their current life stage or decisions. This local quality approach maintains comprehensive coverage while enabling focused selection by allowing users to give different visual weights to different areas.

AI summary
Methods and systems for mapping human values and purpose employ a library of value chips, each chip displaying a different human value; chip organizers comprising value and purpose prompts and input sections and values bracket template for selecting user-relevant chips from the library; and a visual values board configured to display and map the selected chips.
