Universal Catalog of Space for Research Creation
Part of CSS, the Cascade-Semantic Method, Semantic Multispace brings together 357 independently numbered research questions covering the inner world, the outer world, boundaries, and interactions.
The complete catalogue is available in English and Russian. Its entries include explanations, methods, theories, authors, and sources alongside the questions, providing context for selecting directions that fit your original inquiry.
Published on 4 October 2026, this catalogue offers a way to turn a broad topic into questions you can investigate, compare, and revisit as your understanding develops. Each question carries its own explanation and methodological context.

How to use the catalogue
- Define your starting inquiry. Write down what you want to understand, including the situation, your focus, and the intended outcome.
- Select relevant questions. Browse the catalogue or use the HTML search. Choose entries that clarify your topic, suggest connections, or help establish the boundaries of your investigation.
- Build your research plan. Adapt the selected questions to your situation, set priorities, and identify the evidence and methods needed to pursue them. Keep their numbers for reference.
The catalogue provides a starting point for choosing research directions; subsequent findings depend on the inquiry, methods, and evidence.
Place in the method
Semantic Multispace is part of the continuing development of CSS, the Cascade-Semantic Method. It provides a catalogue of research spaces and questions from which a relevant set can be selected for a particular inquiry.
