Foundations
What is a Domain Mandala?
The Domain Mandala Generator turns any knowledge field into a seven-ring map with Seed Truth (Yantra), values, logic, practice, and proof plus markdown/PDF exports. Use it when you need to structure a domain, curriculum, product space, or system so teams and AI share constraints, provenance, and next steps.
For beginners
Think of a Domain Mandala as a beautifully organized “everything you need to know” map. Instead of random tips and tricks, you see how form, meaning, logic, interpretation, and values connect.
For architects and experts
Technically, a Domain Mandala is a 7-layer cognitive architecture derived from the Universal Knowledge Mandala. Each layer is backed by a Yantra kernel — a minimal generative schema that makes the system modular, explainable, and AI-ready.
The 7 Layers
A universal architecture for any domain
Every Domain Mandala shares the same 7-layer structure. Only the content changes: programming, medicine, music, law, wealth, or spiritual practice.
1Layer 1
Form
What the domain looks like
How we parse raw material into structured units: symbols, phrases, code, gestures, diagrams, and more.
2Layer 2
Meaning
What the terms mean
Concepts, frames, and roles that give language and symbols their domain-specific meaning.
3Layer 3
Discourse
How the domain is expressed
Patterns, rhythms, and narrative or rhetorical flows used to communicate, teach, and perform.
4Layer 4
Logic
How reasoning works
Claims, evidence, and links that define how arguments and decisions are justified.
5Layer 5
Interpretation
How conflicts are resolved
Rules, variants, and resolution strategies for dealing with ambiguity, disagreement, and edge cases.
6Layer 6
Ontology
What exists in the domain
Entities, relations, and constraints that form the world-model behind practice in this field.
7Layer 7
Values
What matters most
Values, preferences, and actions that align practice with ethics, purpose, and human flourishing.
The Yantras
The 7 generative blueprints behind every Mandala
These seven minimal schemas are all you need to start generating a Domain Mandala. Fill them in with domain-specific content, and the rest of the structure unfolds.
Form Yantra
Unit → Link → Structure
Identify the units, how they connect, and what structures they create.
Meaning Yantra
Concept → Frame → Role
Clarify the concept, the scenario it lives in, and the roles involved.
Discourse Yantra
Pattern → Pulse → Flow
Capture the recurring pattern, its rhythm, and how it evolves over time.
Logic Yantra
Claim → Evidence → Link
Make explicit what is asserted, what supports it, and why it is valid.
Interpretation Yantra
Rule → Variant → Resolution
State the rule, the competing variants, and how disagreements are resolved.
Ontology Yantra
Entity → Relation → Constraint
Specify what exists, how things relate, and what limits their interactions.
Values Yantra
Value → Preference → Action
Name the value, how it is ranked, and what actions it demands.
How it works
From blank page to complete Mandala in five steps
The Domain Mandala Generator is a repeatable procedure. Once you know the pattern, you can apply it to any field.
1
Define the Domain Seed
Describe the domain, the people using it, the outcomes they care about, and the values or constraints you want to honor.
2
Fill in the 7 Yantras
For each layer, complete the simple schema: Unit → Link → Structure, Concept → Frame → Role, and so on — in your domain’s language.
3
Expand into full Mandala layers
Enrich each layer with examples, practices, tools, artifacts, and common failure modes.
4
Trace 2–3 canonical workflows
Map real tasks across the layers: how inputs move through form, meaning, logic, interpretation, ontology, and values.
5
Export your Mandala
Turn the Mandala into diagrams, teaching outlines, AI model specs, or strategic playbooks.
Domain Seed Template
"This Mandala describes how [users] in [domain] can achieve [outcomes] while honoring [values/constraints]."
Start with this sentence, then let the Yantras guide you through the rest of the design. The Mandala will “grow” out of that seed.
Live example
A Domain Mandala for Programming
Here’s what happens when we run the Domain Mandala Generator on a real field: software development. The same procedure works for any other domain you care about.
The seed statement for this Mandala is:
“This Mandala describes how programmers design, write, and maintain software systems that solve real-world problems reliably and ethically, while honoring values of clarity, maintainability, safety, and user well-being.”
From that seed, we fill in the seven Yantras and expand them into full layers:
Form
Unit → Link → StructureUnits are tokens, expressions, statements, functions, classes, and files. Links are calls, imports, inheritance, and composition. Structures are modules, services, and full architectures.
Meaning
Concept → Frame → RoleConcepts include data, state, behavior, interfaces, and errors. Frames are scenarios like request–response or pipelines. Roles are client, server, worker, queue, database, and cache.
Discourse
Pattern → Pulse → FlowPatterns include design patterns, idioms, and documentation styles. Pulse is the rhythm of sprints, releases, and test cycles. Flow is the journey from feature idea to deployed system.
Logic
Claim → Evidence → LinkClaims such as “this function works” or “this scales” are backed by tests, benchmarks, logs, and reviews. Links are reasoning about contracts, invariants, complexity, and causality.
Interpretation
Rule → Variant → ResolutionRules are language specs, style guides, and architectural principles. Variants are competing designs or ambiguous requirements. Resolution comes from RFCs, senior review, and empirical tests.
Ontology
Entity → Relation → ConstraintEntities are users, requests, services, resources, errors, and permissions. Relations are ownership, dependencies, and communication. Constraints include performance limits and security policies.
Values
Value → Preference → ActionValues include reliability, safety, maintainability, and transparency. Preferences favor readability over cleverness and safety over speed. Actions are writing tests, documenting decisions, and refusing unsafe shortcuts.
Workflow example:“From feature idea to production”
A Mandala isn’t just a static map. It also shows how real work moves across layers. Here’s how a single feature travels through the programming Mandala:
1. Idea & requirements
Values + Ontology
Clarify why this feature matters and who it serves. Identify the entities involved (users, data, services) and the constraints (security, performance, compliance).
2. Shape the solution
Form + Meaning
Sketch the structures: modules, APIs, data models. Define core concepts and roles: which service does what, how requests move, and where state lives.
3. Communicate the design
Discourse
Write a short design doc or RFC. Use patterns and narrative flow to help teammates understand the approach and trade-offs.
4. Implement & reason
Form + Logic
Write code that matches the design. Use tests, type systems, and reasoning about invariants to justify that the implementation actually works.
5. Interpret conflicts
Interpretation
Resolve conflicting opinions about style, architecture, or requirements by appealing to agreed rules, prior decisions, and empirical evidence.
6. Align with values
Values (again)
Make final decisions that honor reliability, maintainability, safety, and user well-being — even if that means declining risky shortcuts.
This is exactly the kind of structure the Domain Mandala Generator produces for any field: a layered map, plus practical flows.
