Abstract
You are in Resources — where you run homework at home and open the book or paper a replay or Atlas note named. Most weeks you need only one block below; use the table of contents to jump, not to read everything.
If you only have five minutes
- Homework — DIY below (open a Playcard).
- Replay — Weekly sessions, not this page.
- One cite — open the single Book or Research note Atlas or doctrine named; skip the rest of this lobby.
Table of Contents
Run something this week (DIY)
When doctrine gives you homework, open a Playcard. One page: write, send, and it lands in your Manual Of Me.
When the room names intention versus Battle, the move that lands is usually a Playcard the same evening — not a full shelf browse.
| Shelf | You open |
|---|---|
| Playcards | Playcards — start here |
| Playcard | You pull it when… | What you leave with |
|---|---|---|
| Ikigai | your purpose feels vague, or something real just shifted | one Ikigai sentence you can defend aloud |
| Alter-ego | a frontal to-do keeps stalling | three observable items you run today |
Full how-to: Playcards lobby. What a Playcard is (neutral definition): Playcard. How-to context: How the Codex works · DIY.
Prep Pulse
Before live sessions you may get a personalised prep email with your Battle, victories, and a Playcard to run. You do not have to hunt from this lobby every Monday.
Apps
You already touch this kit in training — voice capture, spaced recall, rituals. Each App note opens with > [!quote] Apps only (no grey info badge). Browse Apps in the sidebar; when Morning Voice sends you to dictation, start with Wispr Flow.
New in the stack (2026-08-19 room): Claude · Grok · Grok Bot · HeyGen.
AI literacy
When the room names models, harnesses, or “why ChatGPT ≠ Claude,” start at AI — start here — terminology and wiring. Apps hold the products; AI holds the patterns; Concepts hold the operating doctrine (AI Orchestrator · Tripartite reins for business brand).
| Start here | You learn |
|---|---|
| Deterministic vs probabilistic | Surface chat vs constrained output |
| Harness | Files · rules · webhooks · hand-offs |
| Mega-prompt | Standing instructions — including business brand voice |
| Gemini Gem | Associate vault files with Gemini |
Room: 2026-08-19.
Books
Each file is one volume — read over days, not in one sitting. Do not cold-browse the whole folder; use a map:
Five-pillar science spine — open Behavioral change canon, then the pillar table below.
Being vs body — Being vs doing → Focusing · Waking the Tiger.
Resolve · prep voice — Jim Rohn → 7 Strategies for Wealth & Happiness.
Named in a replay — open only that volume. Everything else in Books waits in the sidebar until a session or Atlas note names it.
Behavioral change canon (five pillars)
Your reading map: Behavioral change canon.
| Pillar | You start here |
|---|---|
| Neuroplasticity | The Brain That Changes Itself · Mindsight |
| Cognitive bias | Thinking, Fast and Slow · The Righteous Mind |
| Motivation | The Molecule of More · Self-Control |
| Stress and body | The Body Keeps the Score · Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers |
| Mindset | Self-Theories · Flow · Man’s Search for Meaning |
Why Research exists
When you read Atlas, you get neutral library language. When you sit with Books, you give a volume weeks. When you open Research, you are looking at one peer-reviewed paper — usually because an Atlas note cited it under ## Sources and you want the DOI spine behind the claim.
You do not browse Research like a reading list. You land here when:
- a wikilink from Atlas Sources opens a paper title for you
- a replay or doctrine note sends you to the study behind what you heard in the room
- you want to know what was actually tested before you reuse a cite in your Battle or with the group
Your trade books stay in Books. Room narrative stays in 20_Sessions. Your lines stay in 30_Members → Practices.
How to read a Research note
Each note opens with the grey Research anchor badge. Read top to bottom:
| Section | Your job |
|---|---|
| Abstract + DOI line | What the paper established — and the link if you need the original |
| Key findings | Plain-language bullets — what the study showed |
| Limits | Scope check — sample, method, era. Where the paper stops so you do not over-generalise |
| Application | (When present) One When you… move — only when it adds a try the bullets do not already carry |
| Adjacent | (When present) Related papers or books — optional trail, not required |
Limits is not there to discourage you. It keeps you honest when you borrow science — what you can say with this cite, and what needs another study.
Example path you can copy: Dopamine baseline → Schultz 2016 — mechanism → Nutt 2015 — scope limits.
Research trails (curated)
These are short trails for you — two to four stops. When you want Atlas depth, follow ## Sources on the note that sent you.
Motivation · prediction error
Then open Dopamine baseline if you want the map behind both.
Self-support · narrative and regulation
- Neff 2003 — self-compassion
- Gross 2003 — suppression vs reappraisal
- McAdams 2013 — narrative identity
- Nolen-Hoeksema 2008 — rumination
Atlas maps: Self-support · Self-censorship · Storytelling.
Ambition · agency · goals
- Locke 2002 — goal setting
- Sheldon 1999 — self-concordance
- Bandura 2006 — agency
- Conroy 2001 — fear of failure
Atlas maps: Ambition · Agency · Daring.
Affect · realism (from the 29 Jun room)
Atlas maps: Realistic · Affect primacy. Room context: 2026-06-29.
More papers live in Research — open them only when a wikilink names them for you.
Authors
When you need to know who wrote a book or paper, open Authors in the sidebar — one thin register note per writer, linked from each Book and Research note. A useful trail: Being vs doing.
Quotes (daily spark)
One note per line — each opens with [!quote]. Open the Quotes folder in the sidebar when you want a spark before training, not a homework block.
Talks (stage install)
Curated TED · TEDx — you watch inside the note (embed in-page).
| Install | Talk |
|---|---|
| Sabotage · identity | Eliminate self doubt forever |
| True Self · persona | The art of being yourself |
| Shame · guilt | Listening to shame |
| Emotional agility | Emotional courage |
Movies and Documentary
True-story only — scenes or docs you can cite as personal-development examples in session (not fiction). Example: RAFA. Browse Movies or Documentary in the sidebar when a replay names a scene for you.
Your move
Open one shelf that matches what your replay or Dashboard already named — a Playcard if you are running homework, Research if Atlas Sources sent you, Books if a volume earned a sit-down read. If nothing is named yet, go back to Dashboard or the latest Weekly replay. When the Codex ships a big update, start from Last Update archive. Zone lobbies: Doctrine · Atlas · Maps.
