Agent Memory
Durable context that an LLM agent can read and update across sessions.
Active Learning
Learning where the learner transforms information through comparison, evaluation, explanation, mapping, retrieval, or application.
Compiled Wiki
The synthesized knowledge layer produced from raw sources and prior outputs.
Bear Hunter System
The user’s main encoding system for turning new material into a structured map through inquiry, investigation, and refinement.
Deep Processing
Meaning-making operations that connect information into durable, usable schemas.
Dimensions of Learning
The central study-system model: Deep Processing, Self-Management, Self-Regulation, Mindset, and Retrieval.
Kolbs Experiential Cycle
A reflection cycle for turning experience into better experiments through reflection, abstraction, and action.
Marginal Gains
A method for choosing small, compounding improvements that move a larger goal forward.
Health Check
A maintenance pass that finds gaps, contradictions, stale pages, orphan pages, and unsupported claims.
Metacognition
Awareness and control of one’s own thinking processes during learning or problem solving.
Mindset
The interpretive layer for difficulty, feedback, mistakes, identity, and growth.
Retrieval
The active reconstruction and use of knowledge before checking a source.
Self-Management
The systems for time, tasks, focus, energy, habits, and environment that make learning executable.
Self-Regulation
The control process of monitoring learning, diagnosing gaps, and adjusting strategy.
Spaced Interleaved Retrieval
A retrieval system that mixes recall, widening delays, varied contexts, and gap repair.
WPW
A whole-part-whole retrieval method for testing both big-picture structure and detailed recall.
Passive Learning
Learning behavior where the learner consumes or records information without meaningfully transforming it.
Raw Source
Original or near-original material used as evidence, stored under raw/.
Source Note
A metadata-rich markdown file describing a source, its claims, relevance, and compilation status.
Working Memory
The limited mental workbench used to hold and manipulate information during thinking, encoding, and retrieval.
