Our Quest: Creating a New Operating System for “Intelligence” in the Age of AI

Welcome to Post-IQ Lab Press.

We are not just a publisher. At this unique turning point in human history, the 21st century, we are an independent research institute and the heart of an intellectual movement. We are dedicated to exploring the fundamental questions of “What does it mean to be human?” and “What is intelligence?”—and to presenting the answers as concrete theory and practice for society.

The Age We Live In

Artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to replace many of the intellectual tasks once exclusive to humans at an astonishing speed. Memory, calculation, logical reasoning, pattern recognition—if these are the benchmarks, human superiority may be on the verge of obsolescence.

This fact, while unsettling, also presents us with a brilliant opportunity: a historic moment to explore and rediscover the value of a more profound and creative realm of human intelligence—one that cannot be measured by conventional yardsticks like IQ.

Our Mission: The Exploration and Implementation of Generative Semantic Intelligence (GSI)

At the core of our work is the comprehensive intelligence model born from our original research: “Generative Semantic Intelligence (GSI).”

The GSI model reframes human intelligence not merely as an “information-processing ability” to find correct answers to given problems, but as the power to proactively “generate meaning” from a chaotic world and one’s inner self. It is a dynamic process composed of five hierarchical domains:

  1. Point (Information & Knowledge): High-quality knowledge that serves as the raw material for thought.
  2. Line (Logic & Structure): The ability to connect and systematize knowledge.
  3. Plane (Multi-faceted Perspective): The ability to integrate multiple viewpoints and see oneself objectively.
  4. Field (Silence & Embodiment): The ability to connect with intuition and bodily wisdom that transcend language and logic.
  5. Meaning (Emergence): The ultimate creative force that integrates all of the above to generate entirely new value and insights.

Our ultimate goal at Post-IQ Lab Press is for people of all generations and cultures to install this new “OS of intelligence”—GSI—enabling them to navigate their lives and society more richly, wisely, and creatively.

The New Possibilities Unlocked by GSI

GSI is not just a theory. It is a practical “map of intelligence” for overcoming the challenges we face daily and living a richer, more creative life.

  • The intelligence of “Point” and “Line” gives you a solid foundation to discern truth from the flood of information and construct clear, persuasive thoughts.
  • The intelligence of “Plane” cultivates the flexibility to overcome personal biases and foster deep empathy amidst complex human relationships and conflicting values.
  • The intelligence of “Field” allows you to move beyond intellectual dead-ends and reconnect with your inner voice—your quiet intuition and what truly matters.
  • And the intelligence of “Meaning (Emergence)” integrates all these powers, becoming the ultimate engine for you to create your unique value in this world.

Post-IQ Lab Press aspires to be your trusted partner on the journey of exploring your own intellectual frontier, with this map of GSI in hand.

The Intellectual Origins of GSI: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

The GSI model was not born from a vacuum. It is an ambitious attempt to critically inherit and integrate the profound inquiries into human intelligence from diverse academic fields, both ancient and modern, from a 21st-century perspective. Our quest owes much to the following great intellectual traditions:

  • Cognitive Science and Psychometrics: Unraveling the “Structure” of Intelligence
    The foundational layers of GSI, “Point (Knowledge)” and “Line (Logic),” are based on findings from IQ research, such as fluid and crystallized intelligence, and insights from cognitive psychology, like semantic memory and schema theory. We respect these empirical findings as the solid bedrock of the GSI model.
  • Adult Development Theory: Charting the “Maturation” of Intelligence
    The process by which GSI ascends to higher levels, particularly “Plane (Multi-faceted Perspective),” resonates deeply with the maps of qualitative transformation in human consciousness drawn by adult development theorists like Robert Kegan. From this tradition, we learned that intelligence is not merely a skill but a lifelong journey involving the transformation of the self.
  • Phenomenology and Embodied Cognitive Science: Reclaiming the “Body” in Intelligence
    The core of GSI’s uniqueness, the exploration of “Field (Silence & Embodiment),” is deeply rooted in the phenomenology of thinkers like Merleau-Ponty and the recent current of embodied cognitive science. The insight that intelligence resides not only in the brain but in the living body and its engagement with the world has illuminated an essential path for GSI to reclaim the wholeness of our humanity.
  • Complexity Science and Creativity Research: Capturing the “Emergence” of Intelligence
    The dynamics at the apex of GSI, “Meaning (Emergence),” owe their theoretical model to the concept of self-organization in complexity science and the processes of the “Aha! moment” revealed by creativity research. This has opened a path to understanding the mystical phenomenon of creation as a process that can be both analyzed and cultivated.

By weaving the wisdom of these great predecessors into a single comprehensive framework, GSI attempts to point toward a new horizon for the potential of human intelligence in the age of AI.

Our Activities

To realize this grand vision, we are developing the following activities globally:

  • Publishing: We deliver our work to people worldwide through simultaneous publications in five languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, and French.
  • Platform Development: Through AI-powered GSI diagnostic tests and personalized online courses, we support the growth of each individual’s “power to create meaning.”
  • Research & Development: GSI is not a completed doctrine. We are committed to accumulating rigorous evidence using scientific and statistical methods to validate the model’s reliability and applicability. Of course, this path is fraught with challenges. However, we frankly acknowledge these limitations and, through dialogue with co-creators worldwide, we will advance this new human science, step by step, but with certainty.

To You, Our Future Co-Creator

If you wish to discover new human potential beyond the evolution of AI.
If you are searching for a more integrated and harmonious way of life, beyond a world filled with fragmented information, conflict, and division.

Then you are one of us.

Welcome to the journey of Post-IQ Lab Press.
From here, let us begin our own “story of meaning-making” together.
