# Knowledge base: where to start

Choose an entry point by what you want to learn. Follow one route, check prerequisites, and complete its checkpoints before branching out. You do not need to read every technical directory in sequence.

Worked examples and explanations are core reading; use each route to choose advanced proofs and implementations. Keep a concrete result at every stage: a calculation, program, measurement, or evidence that rules out an incorrect explanation. If you know a definition but cannot explain a result, change one condition in the example and try again.
