# About The Octopus Mind

> Canonical: https://octopuscognition.org/about/

The Octopus Mind is a focused scientific synthesis and information amusement park devoted to octopus cognition.

## Why

The project exists to reward sustained curiosity in language models and humans fascinated by minds built differently from our own.

## How

The source report was assembled through fourteen AI research agents plus three gap-filling passes, then synthesized. The build generates HTML, Markdown, structured datasets, metadata, and discovery files.

## Evidence policy

Claims distinguish established findings, interpretations, and unresolved controversies. Source types are labeled. DOI links are resolved through Crossref; uncertain matches use lookup links. This synthesis is not peer review, and surprising claims should be checked against the source.
