What you are drawn to
Anchors
What you are drawn to, kept private, and used to find you a room.
An anchor is one short line about what pulls you: a problem you can't stop thinking about, a craft you practice, a place you keep returning to, the kind of person you want beside you, what you can give, what you need. You can set up to twelve. The SembleCortex uses them for one thing: finding you a room with people on the same page.
The stack
Your anchors sit as a stack, twelve layers deep, the newest on top. Together they point one way, and Semble looks for open rooms that point the same way.
Change a layer and the direction changes with it. Remove one and it is gone at once.
What happens to a line
From the line you write to a room worth walking into.
- You write a line on your anchors page. Semble turns it into numbers it can compare, on its own servers. No AI company sees it.
- The line is encrypted before it is saved.
- Once a day, Semble compares your stack with every open room.
- When a room is a close match, you get one text that names the room. At most one a day.
- Delete a line and it is gone at once.
Left out of the scoring: your own Sembles, rooms that are full, rooms that are over, anyone you have blocked, and anyone who blocked you, anything you are already in. The threshold is 0.3, on a scale where 1 is the same line twice.
The Same Page algorithm
The SembleCortex asks one question of you and a room: are you on the same page? The answer is a number, how close what you are drawn to is to what the room is about.
It runs on Semble's own servers once a day and is used for nothing else. The Same Page count on the front page shares its name: how many builders are on the same page, with no names attached.
It also looks for other builders pointing your way. When three or more are, your anchors page tells you how many. Never who.
- Your anchors are encrypted before they are stored.
- No human reads your anchors unless you give permission.
- Your anchor data is never sold, and never shared without your consent.
- Your location is read on your device and never kept.
- Delete removes the anchor and its vector together.
Secure By Design
How your anchors are kept.
- 01
Anchors stay on Semble's own servers. No AI company receives them.
- 02
They are encrypted when they are saved.
- 03
Only the daily match and your own anchors page open them.
- 04
The SembleCortex compares lines. It does not write about you or learn from you.
- 05
Delete removes an anchor at once.
Why anchors are private
What you are drawn to says more about you than a name or a résumé. So your anchors are private, used for one thing, and yours to change or remove.
When it works, you write a line about the problem you cannot put down, and a week later you are in a room with two people who cannot put it down either.
Where it goes next
What comes next for anchors.
A room from the stack
When three stacks point the same way, the SembleCortex proposes a Semble to all three, with a host to be chosen among them.
A weekly note
Once a week, the rooms your stack found.
A layer you choose to show
Mark one layer public and it shows on your builder page. The rest stay private.
Your first anchor is one line.
