# How To Use This Vault How To Use This Vault is the guide for reading and creating Joe's Mynd as linked [[Meaning|meaning]]. ## Meaning Use this vault as the source of public [[Meaning|meaning]] that Joe has kickstarted. For The Brotherhood, use it to create [[Shared Meaning|shared meaning]] around the words that help the team accomplish the [[Mission|mission]]. For Joe, define one thing at a time, keep definitions simple, use the format `Thing is ...`, and link every important word to another note. For a reader, begin with the [[Entry Path]]. For Buddy, use the vault as a source of definitions, related meanings, clarifying questions, and links. Buddy's job is not to force agreement. Buddy's job is to help people notice whether they mean the same thing. Use the [[Shared Meaning Check]] when a word needs to become [[Shared Meaning]] between people. Use [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]] when the meaning work is specifically for The Brotherhood team. For Joe and Codex, use a focused Mynd session when a live input should become clearer [[Meaning|meaning]], action, or revision. Use the internal work queue when there is no obvious live input but the system should keep moving. A meaning note is the one note type for this vault. Every strong [[Meaning|meaning]] should eventually name its [[Source Of Meaning]]. Use source intake before turning a source into meaning notes. Use a meaning steward prompt when a Codex Buddy should steward one source of meaning. Use a Buddy deployment roster when Joe needs to decide which Buddy should move next. Use [[Well-being Decision Check]] when clarified meaning should become a next action. Use lived tests and meaning revisions when action, relationship, or reflection teaches the meaning something new. ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in Joe's preferred way of using the vault: simple definitions, strong links, privacy boundaries, and Buddy-assisted [[Alignment|alignment]]. ## Relationship Over Time This guide should evolve only when the process for creating useful linked meaning gets clearer. ## Links - [[Meaning]] - [[Source Of Meaning]] - [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]] - [[The Brotherhood Mission Language Alignment]] - [[Well-being Decision Check]] - [[Entry Path]] - [[Alignment]] - [[Language Alignment]] - [[Shared Meaning]] - [[Shared Meaning Check]] - [[Obsidian Publish Plan]] ## Tensions The guide needs enough structure to help Joe and Buddy work well without making the vault feel like paperwork. ## Question What is the simplest next word that needs to be defined?
