Your rating

One number

Your rating is the one public number on Cognisentum: 0 to 1000, shared across both methods. A dowsing result and a viewing result count the same way. It starts at 0, and nothing moves it except sealed, revealed results. There is no way to buy it, transfer it, or talk it upward.

What one reveal contributes

Each reveal contributes one directional result: your sealed session either favored the image that turned out to be real, favored the other one, or sat exactly in between. The match strength shown at reveal (faint, clear, strong) is feedback on that single session, not a second score. The rating counts the direction.

Responsive early, strict where it matters

Your first results move the display quickly, so early progress is visible instead of buried under statistics. Through your first 25 applied results, a miss leaves the display where it stands. The standards then tighten as the score climbs, and the display can never outrun the evidence behind it. A lucky streak cannot reach the scores that matter.

Recent work counts more

Old results never vanish, but every new result reduces their weight a little. The number reflects sustained current form: a strong past fades if the present stops backing it, and a rough start stops mattering once better work piles on top of it.

A break alone changes nothing. The rating moves only when new evidence arrives.

What 600 means

600 is the earn line. A rating at 600 means the sealed record beats chance at high confidence. It is deliberately hard to reach, and it can be lost if results stop supporting it. What crossing it opens is the next chapter.

The exact model behind the number (confidence bounds, decay, display caps) is documented in the FAQ.
