Formation Layer
Fideograph is not a library. It is a formation system. This is where your intellectual and spiritual growth is tracked, measured, and directed.
Where to start
Formation is cumulative. Start with the assessment, pick a course, build your Rule of Life, and watch your vectors grow. The best path follows the order below — but you can enter anywhere.
Four questions. Instant archetype. Your first recommended engine is chosen for you based on where you are and why you are here.
The full formation intake. Theological knowledge, spiritual practice, doctrinal confidence. Assigns your archetype and sets your initial formation vectors.
Courses are the primary vehicle for formation. Structured lessons teach the faith, test your understanding, and update your vectors. Pick one based on your needs — RCIA, Confirmation, or the full Catholic Faith.
A structured set of daily, weekly, and monthly practices calibrated to your archetype. Not a generic programme — a response to your actual formation state.
Your live formation profile. Six vectors updated in real time by every engine session. Your archetype, your pathway trail, your simulation record, your Rule of Life tasks.
Fideograph assigns one of five archetypes based on your assessment: The Seeker, The Warrior, The Contemplative, The Scholar, or The Disciple. Your archetype determines which engines are surfaced first, how your Rule of Life is constructed, and which vectors your sessions prioritise. It updates as your vectors change.
Formation vectors track seven dimensions: Logic, Doctrine, History, Quiz Accuracy, Discipline, Prayer, and Charity. Courses are the primary way to grow your vectors — each lesson is designed to build specific dimensions. Engines like Logical Pathways, Historical Simulation, and Prayer Pathways also contribute. Nothing is manual — the system reads your activity and reflects it back.
