Universes

4 universes, sorted by stories over 24 hours

The share is of every vertical's stories together. Only articles already scored for tone count as rated, so a universe can have more stories than rated articles.

Every news vertical, read the same way

A universe is one vertical of the news: AI and tech, finance, politics, sports. Every story the site tracks belongs to one of them and is filed under its topics, so you see where the coverage actually is instead of scrolling one endless feed.

Each card shows the vertical's stories of the last 24 hours and their share of all stories, the tone index of the coverage, how it moved and how many articles the model rated. Open a universe for its topics. Sorted by stories and recalculated every few minutes.

01

How a universe is built

Stories are grouped by theme, not by keyword. A language model reads each headline and lead and files the story under up to three topics of its vertical.

Nothing is filed by hand.

02

What the share means

The share is the part of all the period's stories that belong to the vertical. A story belongs to one vertical, so the shares add up to 100%.

The card shows how the vertical's tone moved against the 24 hours before, and the bars its stories hour by hour.

03

Why the size and the tone differ

A large topic can read calm and a small one sharp. Tone is positive minus negative among the articles the model has rated, on a scale where 50 is balanced.

A topic with too few rated articles shows no index, because a handful of headlines should not set the mood.

04

Stories, not articles

Reprints of the same news from different domains are merged into one story, so an item copied by forty sites counts once.

That keeps a topic's share a measure of how much happened, not of how widely one thing was syndicated.
