Research reading as an active workflow of return, notes, and synthesis.
Serious AI work depends on reading systems, not just browsing papers. This project treats comprehension as production work.
Repository reading order
01 / Workflow
PDF hoarding and one-pass reading that never turns into reusable understanding.
Start by naming the old workflow this repo is replacing.
02 / README

Then use the README and site interpretation to confirm the project boundary and delivery surface.
03 / Proof graph
Return to thesis and the wider proof system
Finally, place the repository back into a bigger market question and working conversation.

Longform route
Return to the archive for the argument behind this build
Read the repository and the writing as one public proof chain.
Forum route
Reconnect the project to launches, field notes, and shorter experiments
The forum layer carries pace, live context, and iteration.
