#IsaacsOpenNotes --- # Isaac's Open Notes Archive ### Operational Headquarters of a Psychological Veteran (re)Building in Public This is the living knowledge base of a man who lost everything, moved onto a sailboat, and started building an empire from the wreckage. *Some* notes are polished. [**Many** are not](**https://publish.obsidian.md/isaacsnotes/Isaacs+Open+Notes/03.+Active+Projects/3.1+-+Imperial+Language+Lab/True+Totals**). **All of them are real.** If you're someone who has survived a major life collapse and is systematically rebuilding, we are kin, and you are in the right place. If you're not there yet but feel it coming, this archive might serve as advance reconnaissance. You're a psychological veteran as well. Let's build together. --- ## Start Here ### The Architecture **🏛️ [[3.1 - Lester's Literal Lexicon ~ Isaac's Imperial Language Lab]]** The terminology system. 1,000+ terms across 26 sections, 5 volumes. This is the operational vocabulary of the MINDSET Operating System w/ frameworks named, constructs defined, protocols documented. If you want to understand how I think, start where I've publicized my dissected brain. ### The Evidence **🚀 [[7.0 - Publishing Hub]]** The public record of everything I've shipped. Articles, newsletters, podcasts, videos, essays all indexed, cross-referenced, and archived. Literally hundreds of pieces. Multiple platforms. Logged deliberately. If you want proof that the system produces, start here. ### The Mission **⚔️ [[Foundation - My Digital Empire - Legion Model]]** The strategic document. What I'm building, why I'm building it, and how the pieces connect. The roadmap from basement to empire. If you want to understand where this is going, start here. --- ## Supporting Paths |Path|Purpose| |---|---| |🧠 [[1.0 - Evergreen Notes]]|Frameworks and mental models as they harden into doctrine| |📖 [[2.0 - Reading Library]]|Inputs annotated, metabolized, connected to output| |🎯 [[3.0 - Active Projects]]|What's currently under construction| |💡 [[4.0 - Content Ideas & Pipeline]]|The queue before it becomes content| |✍️ [[5.0 - Content Drafts]]|Work in progress| |🔄 [[6.0 - Daily Practice]]|Rituals, routines, and operational rhythm| |📊 [[8.0 - Analytics & Learning]]|What the data teaches| |⚙️ [[9.0 - System Maintenance]]|Backend documentation| --- ## What This Is I'm building a personal media company in public, one system at a time.
