Camille Pissarro stood before his canvas in 1899, placing thousands of individual dots to create The Garden of the Tuileries on a Spring Morning. Each dot meant nothing alone. Together, they formed paradise.
Your professional intelligence works the same way. Every email, every meeting, every insight - individual dots that only reveal their pattern when you step back far enough to see the whole picture.
But here's the problem: Your canvas has edges.
The Context Window Crisis
AI systems lose context after 200K tokens - their memory resets, their canvas ends. Your brain loses context after three client calls - switching between projects, your mental canvas keeps resetting too.
Pissarro's dots stayed perfectly in place. Yours scatter across platforms, disappear into email threads, fade from memory.
The Three Dots That Connect:
Dot 1: The Memory Paradox You're creating brilliant insights daily, but can't access them when you need them most. That solution from six months ago? Gone. That pattern you spotted across three different situations? Forgotten. You're painting masterpieces that vanish.
Dot 2: Context is Everything LLMs are impressive until their context window fills up - then they forget everything you taught them. Your brain is brilliant until you switch contexts - then you're starting from zero again. Both need external memory to maintain intelligence.
Dot 3: The Infinite Canvas What if your context window had no edges? What if every professional insight you've ever had stayed connected, searchable, and immediately available? What if your intelligence could compound instead of fragment?
Your Scattered Intelligence
Right now, your professional dots are everywhere:
That breakthrough framework trapped in last year's project files
The stakeholder pattern you noticed, buried in meeting notes
The solution that always works, living only in your memory
Individually, they're isolated points. Connected, they become your competitive advantage.
The technology exists to build infinite context windows for human intelligence. Some are already doing it.
Building Your Personal Intelligence System
This week, I'm exploring how professionals are building Intelligence Systems - not another app, but an actual system for capturing and connecting every professional dot you create.
Imagine:
Every insight you've ever had, instantly accessible
Patterns emerging from years of accumulated knowledge
Your AI assistant trained on YOUR expertise, not generic responses
The technology exists. The methods are proven. The only question is whether you'll keep painting dots that disappear, or start building your garden.
Your intelligence isn't limited by your memory. It's limited by your system for capturing and connecting dots.
The artists who changed history weren't just talented - they had systems for capturing their vision.
The Question
Will you keep operating with limited memory in an infinite-information world? Or will you build the system that captures every professional dot you create and connects them into patterns you never saw before?
Your memory is no longer limited by your brain's context window. It's made infinite by your Personal Intelligence System.
