⬡ The Value
Hexagram
Transform unsolvable tensions into new solutions.
290 concepts. 16 tension axes. 5 epistemological graphs.
Augment your generative AI with the diversity of global knowledge.
Our mental models are culturally situated
Every organization, leader, and generative AI reasons from a partial worldview. These blind spots are not competence flaws—they are structural, embedded in our languages, cultures, and disciplines.
The Value Hexagram is an answer to this challenge: a multicultural and ethical epistemological framework that gives generative AI the ability to reason from the diversity of human knowledge, rather than a single perspective.
"Diversity of perspective is not a luxury—it is a strategic necessity."
Multicultural
Philosophical, scientific, and spiritual traditions from around the world
Ethical
Recognition of semiotic biases. Elevation of collective consciousness

The 5 epistemological spaces
Each graph explores a fundamental dimension of human knowledge, with its own tension axes and structuring concepts.
G1 — Human & Society
Individual ↔ Collective · True ↔ Just · Human ↔ Computational
Social sciences, governance, fundamental rights
G2 — Information
Signal ↔ Meaning · Closed ↔ Open · Representation ↔ Enaction
Semiotics, cognition, AI, epistemology
G3 — The Living
Misalignment ↔ Alignment · Individual ↔ Ecosystem · Mechanical ↔ Living
Biology, ecology, robustness, antifragility
G4 — Spirituality & Sacred
Immanent ↔ Transcendent · Profane ↔ Sacred · Tradition ↔ Singularity · Babel ↔ Jerusalem · Chronos ↔ Kairos · Dissolution ↔ Incarnation
Contemplative traditions, transhumanism, process philosophy
G5 — Mandala of World Knowledge
Analytical North · Relational East · Decolonial South · Indigenous West
Mapping of global epistemologies. 3D Sphere (Julien Freund). Time spiral of the 4 civilizational eras.
Les 16 fundamental tension axes
Each axis represents a universal tension that humans and organizations encounter in their decisions. The Hexagram does not seek to resolve these tensions—it explores the integrative space between their two poles.
Three steps to augment your AI
The Hexagram works with any LLM on the market (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, Gemini). No installation required.
Download the metaprompt
Depuis l'onglet "Intégration IA" de l'application, copiez le métaprompt système (FR ou EN). Il contient les 8 levels of integrative resolution.
Add the JSON file
Download the knowledge JSON (290 concepts, 16 axes). Paste it into your conversation with the AI, or attach it as a file.
Submit your tension
Describe your problem or tension. The AI explores the 8 resolution levels and generates integrative solutions anchored in the diversity of knowledge.

📦Research Project
ITEA4 MOSAIC Project
The Value Hexagram is developed within the European project ITEA4 MOSAIC (Multi-stakeholder Open Source AI Collaboration). This project brings together academic and industrial partners to develop ethical and multicultural AI tools.
Call for contributions
Researchers, practitioners, and facilitators worldwide are invited to contribute: integrate new thinkers, enrich tension axes, propose new use cases. A COST Action proposal is in preparation to structure this European network.
