Abstract
You are in Atlas — the neutral library behind doctrine: psychology, behaviour, learning science, and the four pillars (Identity · Archetype · Mental Model · Quantified Self). You land here when a concept wikilink sends you — not to cold-browse every note.
If you only have five minutes
- Sent from doctrine — open that single Atlas note; read Mechanism + Sources.
- Science spine — Behavioral change canon → matching Book on Resources.
- No topic yet — Self-Architecture stack map first.
Table of Contents
Four pillars
Every personal OS sits on four reference pillars (browse 50_Atlas in the sidebar for depth):
Stack map when friction has no name: Self-Architecture.
Domain maps
Curated mastery trails (live on Codex) — faster than scrolling this folder:
| Map | Open when… |
|---|---|
| Identity | self-story, gap, layers |
| Habit | cues, loops, follow-through |
| Biology | body signal, stress, safety |
| Systems | context nest, ecosystem |
Lobby: Maps zone · home: Dashboard.
Reading spines
| Spine | You open when… |
|---|---|
| Behavioral change canon | you want the five-pillar book map |

Mechanism clusters
Short entry points — open one note, not the whole cluster:
| Cluster | Start here |

| Reward · prediction | Dopamine baseline |
| Decision · agency | A decision is two acts |

| Performance · persona | The Power of the Alter Ego |
More notes live in the sidebar — open only what a wikilink names.
How to read this shelf
Follow a link from 10_Concepts when you want neutral framing behind doctrine. Open Books when you sit with a volume. Open Research when ## Sources cites a paper — how Research notes read.
Atlas entries are library notes — no member names, no session narratives in the notes themselves.
Your move
One note from the wikilink that sent you. Read mechanism, then Sources or Limits before you reuse a cite in your Battle. Need a trail? Pick one domain map or one spine above — not the whole folder.
