Learning Routes

Tracks

Four routes through the same 17 steps. Pick the one that matches what you already know; each ends somewhere the next one starts.

You start knowing: Loop Engineering — heartbeat, spine, maker/checker
You finish able to: explain why one memory file stops working past one loop; tell the two graphs apart

You start knowing: the two-graph split
You finish able to: run a fact through extraction → resolution → provenance; build a subgraph and a grounded checker

You start knowing: how to build and read one graph
You finish able to: wire multiple loops into a governance graph; name and fix the four failure modes

You start knowing: how to ship one graph
You finish able to: decide when not to build one; run graphs at scale; author new patterns
