Tib Roibu
Tib Roibu is a researcher interested in the philosophy of the sciences of mind, and a deep fascination with understanding the intricacies of cognition, perception, and consciousness within a geometric framework.
He takes interest in futures, innovation and technologies, all under the auspices of avant-gardism.
In 2013 he created the Geometry Matters project, a popular science platform that delivers a variety of resources on the topics of geometric cognition and cognitive geometry, amongst others.
In 2022, he joined Ideateplus —a Swiss innovation consultancy— as research and innovation advisor
His broad spectrum of interests allowed him to identify and build upon specific niches and trends in cognition, which further lead to the development of the proposed geometric framework.

Alexander Manu
Alexander Manu is a strategic foresight practitioner, innovation advisor, international lecturer and author.
In his client and research work, Alexander is involved in transforming organizations by integrating disruption in everyday business and defining new competitive spaces, the development of new strategic business competencies and creation of imaginative innovation methods. He believes that the exploration of possibility requires imagination as a prerequisite for strategic change and innovation. For over 30 years, he has enabled global companies as diverse as Motorola, LEGO, Whirlpool, Nokia, Navteq and Unilever, to develop policies and strategies that address emerging issues through strategic foresight and pre-competitive business models.
His most recent book,” Transcending Imagination” was released in Apr 2024, both in hardcover and electronically by Emerald Publishing Group. Author of “The Philosophy of Disruption ” (2022), “Dynamic Future-Proofing: Integrating Disruption in Everyday Business”(2021), “Transforming Organizations for the Subscription Economy: Starting from Scratch” (2017), “Value Creation and the Internet of Things” (2015), and many more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Polynon?
The polynon is a geometric framework for understanding consciousness, perception, and cognition. It models how experience unfolds through structured dimensions shaped by attention, memory, and meaning.
Is the polynon a scientific theory or a philosophical system?
The polynon bridges both domains. It draws from cognitive science, geometry, and systems theory while offering a foundational ontology for modeling subjective experience.
What does "Cognitive Gravity" mean in this context?
Cognitive Gravity refers to the forces that shape perception, meaning, and truth. It models how attention stabilizes around conceptual attractors, forming coherent experiences and memory structures.
How is the polynon different from traditional models of mind?
Traditional models often treat mind as a computational or emergent phenomenon. The polynon treats cognition as geometrically structured, with consciousness as primary and perception as a spatial unfolding.
What role does the observer play in the polynon?
The observer is not external but embedded. The polynon treats the observer as a self-reflective function within consciousness, a mechanism through which perception organizes and reflects reality.
Can the polynon be applied to technology or AI?
Yes. Polynon informs the design of cognitive systems, visualizations, and interpretative architectures by modeling how meaning forms and evolves, guiding more intuitive and context-aware tools.
Does the polynon align with any existing philosophical traditions?
It resonates with aspects of idealism, process philosophy, and phenomenology, while introducing novel geometrical and topological mechanisms for understanding mind and meaning.
Is the polynon a finished model or an evolving system?
The polynon is evolving. As a living framework, it adapts through dialogue, experimentation, and integration, constantly refining how it maps consciousness and cognition across domains.
