Proximity is a spatial research surface that turns Are.na blocks into multiplayer grids for public thinking.

It creates a shared environment where ideas are arranged through Rigid, Chaos, and Stacks views, expanded with sketchbook-style annotation, and supported by team-based collaboration. Multi-cell linking and ambient AI discovery help connect fragments into patterns, while comments, gates, and Presenter Mode enable moments of focus and exchange. Push–pull integration with Are.na ensures work remains dynamic and connected.

The result is a complex exploratory space for research and ideas. Sustaining context across networks of thinkers.
