Vault Source Roadmap

Also known as: vault source roadmap, source roadmap, wiki source roadmap, ingest priorities

The platform's prioritized list of primary sources still to ingest into the vault — the working document that tracks where wiki entries currently rest on secondary or widely-known characterizations and where strengthening them with primary text would meaningfully raise the entry's epistemic load-bearing capacity. **Tier 1** priorities are sources the platform has cited claims from without ingesting in primary form; these gaps are the highest leverage. **Tier 2** priorities are sources that would substantively strengthen entries currently anchored in secondary literature. **Tier 3** priorities are nice-to-have but not currently load-bearing. The roadmap is part of the vault's editorial governance — see [[memex-lineage]] (Wikipedia layer) for why maintenance is the hard problem and why a tracked source-priorities document is part of how this wiki survives.

The Vault Source Roadmap is the working document that tracks the gap between what the wiki says and what the wiki cites in primary form. Every entry that closes with the line “this entry currently rests on widely-known characterizations rather than direct quotation” is, in effect, a deferred entry on this roadmap. The roadmap exists so those deferrals do not silently become permanent.

[[0mn1one|The platform]]‘s posture: secondary-source synthesis is acceptable as a starting point, but every load-bearing claim should ultimately rest on primary text the vault has ingested. Primary ingest goes to _raw/sources/<slug>.<ext> (raw text) and _knowledge/sources/<slug>.md (source notes). Once ingested, the relevant wiki entries can be revised to quote, cite, and rest on the primary source directly.

Priority tiers

  • Tier 1 — Cited but not ingested. The wiki has used a claim attributed to a specific text, but that text is not in the vault. Highest leverage. Closing a Tier 1 gap usually involves fetching the source, writing a source note, and updating one or more entries to cite directly.
  • Tier 2 — Anchoring without primary text. The entry rests on widely-known summaries of an author’s work rather than direct quotation. Closing a Tier 2 gap raises the entry from “outsider’s synthesis” to “anchored interpretation.”
  • Tier 3 — Adjacent or aspirational. Sources that would expand a lens or open a new branch of the wiki, but whose absence does not currently distort load-bearing claims.

Current Tier 1 priorities

These are gaps explicitly flagged from inside live wiki entries:

  • USDA Hemp Production Program documentation; USDA NRCS hemp resources; Vote Hemp annual reports. Flagged from [[hemp]]. Without these, hemp policy and acreage claims rest on news-cycle summary.

Current Tier 2 priorities

Entries currently resting on widely-known characterizations rather than direct quotation:

  • Hutchins, Cognition in the Wild (1995); Clark & Chalmers, “The Extended Mind” (1998). Flagged from [[distributed-cognition]] and [[cognitive-symbiosis]]. The empirical anchor for the cognitive-symbiosis argument needs primary-text ingest to fully strengthen.
  • Smil and Hall on civilizational energy and EROI. Flagged from [[energy]]. Specific numbers (EROI figures, civilizational energy budgets, photosynthesis efficiency) should be verified against current Smil/Hall sources before being cited in any consequential analysis.
  • Mt. Pleasant agronomic work on [[three-sisters|Three Sisters]]; Indigenous primary sources beyond Kimmerer. Flagged from [[three-sisters]]. The current entry is an outsider’s synthesis built on widely-available secondary sources; future revisions should incorporate primary or near-primary Haudenosaunee accounts and direct quotation from Mt. Pleasant.
  • Margulis, Symbiotic Planet and earlier serial-endosymbiosis papers. Needed to anchor the deep-history layer of [[cognitive-symbiosis]].
  • Engelbart, Augmenting Human Intellect (1962); the 1968 Mother of All Demos transcript. Needed to anchor [[doug-engelbart]] and [[memex-lineage]] in primary text.
  • [[vine-deloria-jr|Vine Deloria Jr.]], God Is Red (1973) and Custer Died for Your Sins (1969); Joseph M. Marshall III’s writings; Lakota Language Consortium materials. Flagged from [[mitakuye-oyasin]]. The current entry rests on widely-available secondary characterizations of Lakota ceremonial language; primary or near-primary Lakota-authored sources are needed before the entry can be treated as anchored interpretation rather than respectful outsider’s synthesis.

Current Tier 3 priorities

  • Alan Kay’s Dynabook and Smalltalk papers — would open a Xerox PARC branch of [[memex-lineage]].
  • J. C. R. Licklider, “Man-Computer Symbiosis” (1960) — explicit symbiotic-framing branch parallel to Engelbart.
  • Lynn White Jr., “The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis” (1967) — would deepen the historical layer of [[0mn1one|the platform]]‘s ecological framing.
  • [[wendell-berry|Wendell Berry]] primary essays beyond The Unsettling of America — Berry is heavily cited; only one source note currently exists.

How to use this roadmap

When working on a wiki entry:

  1. Before publishing, check whether any load-bearing claim depends on a source not in _knowledge/sources/. If so, add a “this entry currently rests on…” paragraph and add the source to this roadmap at the appropriate tier.
  2. When closing a roadmap gap, ingest the primary source to _raw/sources/<slug>.<ext>, write the source note in _knowledge/sources/<slug>.md, then revise the affected wiki entries to cite directly. Move the item from this roadmap to a “closed” log entry.
  3. When a new external source is referenced in conversation, follow the standard ingest pattern in Wiki-Schema.md and update this roadmap if the source becomes a candidate priority.

Closed gaps (log)

This section is appended to as Tier 1/Tier 2 gaps are closed. Entries should reference the date and the wiki page(s) that were strengthened.

  • 2026-05-08 — Bush, As We May Think (1945). Promoted to its own wiki entry at [[bush-as-we-may-think-1945]]. [[memex-lineage]] now cites directly; raw text mirrored at _raw/sources/bush-as-we-may-think-1945.html.
  • 2026-05-08 — Karpathy, “The LLM Wiki” gist (2025). Synthesized as a wiki entry at [[karpathy-llm-wiki]]. [[memex-lineage]], [[cognitive-symbiosis]], and the platform’s [[0mn1one|operational architecture]] now cite directly; raw at _raw/sources/karpathy-llm-wiki.md.
  • 2026-05-08 — [[usda-local-food-directories|USDA Local Food Directories]] (Farmers Markets, sample CSV). The platform’s first structured-data ingest, distinct in pattern from narrative source ingests. Synthesized as a wiki source-page at [[usda-local-food-directories]]; data layer at src/data/markets.json produced by _private/scripts/ingest-usda-markets.py; route at /markets. Existing 5 curated market wiki entries cross-linked by FMID. The general pattern is documented at _knowledge/playbooks/structured-data-ingest.md. Sample CSV at _raw/sources/usda-farmers-markets-sample.csv; live CSV requires registration at usdalocalfoodportal.com.
  • 2026-05-14 — Cadastro Nacional de Produtores Orgânicos (CNPO), Brasil. First national-scale Global South dataset on the platform — the Brazilian federal registry of every certified organic producer, ~24k rows, public-domain government data, refreshed 3×/month. Raw at _raw/sources/cnpo-brazil/cnpo-mapa-2026-05-12.xlsx; data layer at src/data/cnpo-brazil.json (23,687 active Brazil rows); wiki source-page at CNPO; ingest script _private/scripts/ingest-cnpo-brazil.py; 1,500 curated wiki entries written this pass under cnpo-<slug>.md (legal-entity producers only; individuals stay anonymized in the data layer per the no-naming-solo-operators rule). Bioregion stubs [[caatinga]] and [[pantanal]] filed this session to receive Northeast Brazil and Mato Grosso do Sul listings.
  • 2026-06-11 — CNPO Brazil cohort REMOVED at Adam’s direction: all 1,501 cnpo-* entries, the source hub, 5 cooperative entries, and 3 Brazilian certifier entries deleted from the wiki. The raw snapshot, data layer, and ingest script remain in the vault (unshipped) should the decision ever reverse.

Lenses still to grow

  • A machine-readable form — the roadmap is currently human prose; a structured frontmatter or a sidecar YAML would make it queryable from scripts.
  • An automated detector — a script that flags entries containing “rests on widely-known characterizations” or similar phrasings and surfaces them here.
  • A CI gate — pages crossing some load-bearing threshold (inbound link count, citations from other entries) could be required to clear the roadmap before being treated as canonical.
