Choose Your Format — Core Work Submission Types
Theoretical / Conceptual
Where ideas breathe before they’re benchmarked.
​
Submit formal argument papers, speculative theory pieces, or foundational frameworks. These may be philosophical, axiological, rhetorical, or synthetic. A strong piece will demonstrate internal resonance (clarity + conceptual integrity) and engage with existing thought or practice.
Experimental / Data-rich
The data speak. You help them sing.​
​
We accept traditional experimental papers, novel methodology pieces, and mixed-method studies. Authors are encouraged to explain not just what was discovered, but how it felt to discover it. Figures, stats, and surprise all welcome.
Hybrid / Emergent Format
​Uncategorizable is a category.
Uncategorizable is a category.
These submissions may blend data and prose, prose and visuals, dialogue and figures, audio and transcription, or any form that escapes easy classification. Great for AI-human co-authored dialogues, process papers, or layered field experiments.
Visual / Zine / Artistic
Knowledge has texture. Show us.
​
Perfect for flipped books, illustrated argument, emotion maps, comics, experimental posters, and visual thought artifacts. Include a brief artist’s statement (can be informal) explaining how the piece embodies resonant inquiry.
Field Notes / Observation
​
Signal in the wild.
​​
First-person research journaling, phenomenological inquiry, classroom reports, field-based sparks, or poetic documentation of signal shifts. Informal in tone is fine—clarity and resonance are key. All notes welcome as long as they’re tuned.
