* The Master Memex

This is the central hub for our knowledge management system, synthesizing three core methodologies:
- *Atomic Notes:* For evergreen, interlinked knowledge (Zettelkasten).
- *GTD (Getting Things Done):* For actionable task tracking and project execution.
- *PARA:* For high-level directory organization (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).

* The Architecture

Our workspace is strictly divided into these functional zones:

- [[file:0_inbox/README.org][Inboxes]]: The zero-friction capture point for raw thoughts and tasks.
- [[file:1_daily/README.org][Dailies]]: Immutable chronological logs and fleeting notes.
- [[file:2_notes/README.org][Atomic Notes]]: Atomic, concept-based, interlinked notes (Zettelkasten).
- [[file:3_drafts/README.org][Drafts]]: Works in progress, essays, and active synthesis.
- [[file:4_published/README.org][Published]]: Final outputs and static snapshots of completed work.
- [[file:5_projects/README.org][Projects]]: Active, time-bound efforts with a clear definition of done.
- [[file:6_areas/README.org][Areas]]: Ongoing spheres of responsibility (e.g., Health, Finances).
- [[file:7_resources/README.org][Resources]]: External reference material and raw literature notes.
- [[file:8_archives/README.org][Archives]]: Cold storage for completed projects and inactive items.
- [[file:9_system/README.org][System]]: System configuration, AI skills, and automation scripts.

* Core Workflows
** 1. Capture (Anytime)

Everything enters the system via the `inbox` (for actionable GTD tasks) or as a Fleeting Note in the `daily` log (for knowledge). Zero friction, no filtering. The `inbox` serves as a holding area for unfiled files or raw links.

** 2. Nightly Distillation (The Scribe)

An automated AI sub-agent reads the daily captures and extracts conceptual thoughts into evergreen, atomic notes (Zettelkasten), leaving the original daily logs untouched.

** 3. Weekly Maintenance

Review active projects, clarify inbox items into actionable GTD tasks, and explore the Atomic Notes graph to merge concepts and forge new connections.
