New here? Start with About Isonomia for a plain-language overview, then read the sections below.
- Architecture — The social layer, the reasoning layer, the argument graph, the evidence system, and the institutional workflow — and how a conversation moves along the informal-to-formal spectrum.
- Argument graph — How claims, arguments, argumentation schemes, critical questions, challenges, citations, and confidence work — and how every permalink is exposed as a machine-citable artifact.
- Browser extension — Create evidence-backed arguments from any webpage, and see inline previews of Isonomia links on Reddit, X, and Hacker News.
- Self-hosting — Deploy and operate your own Isonomia instance: stack, prerequisites, environment, and the build and run steps.
- Privacy — Data ownership, tracking, retention, and how privacy and provenance are enforced by architecture rather than policy.
