How to use this page

Read this first to avoid getting lost

This page is a companion guide that explains how to read Mind-Upload in the first 30 minutes depending on your goal. The best first page differs for readers who want the big picture, theory, practical work, literature, or contribution routes.

  • Pin 3-4 pages to view in the first 30 minutes for each 'what you want to know'.
  • Lets you read the lines of theory, practice, literature, and participation without mixing them up.
  • This is a map to avoid getting lost and wasting too much time on the entrance page.
Best for
People who feel there are too many entry points and do not want to waste their first 30 minutes
Reading time
6-10 minutes
Accuracy note
This page gives short entry routes only. For detailed conditions and exceptions, return to the relevant main pages.

Relatively clear at this stage

What we know now

  • If you just fix your purpose first, you will be much less confused about the order of reading.
  • The first entrance is different for those who want to enter from theory and those who want to enter from practical.
  • In the first 30 minutes, it is important to grasp the ``next direction'' rather than reading everything.

Still unresolved beyond this point

What we still do not know

  • Which route is ultimately the most efficient depends somewhat on the reader's background knowledge.
  • If the page structure increases in the future, the shortest route may be fine-tuned.

What the wiki is for

The wiki is a learning aid. For the project's official current synthesis, success criteria, and operating rules, always return to the public pages.

Determine your purpose first

You don't need to understand everything in the first 30 minutes. All you need to do is fixwhat you want to know and look first at only 3-4 pages that fit that purpose.

Reading methods to avoid in the first 30 minutes

Mistake

  • Try to read all long passages from the beginning: At first, it is better to decide on one axis for more stable understanding.
  • Chasing theory and practice too much at the same time: It's better to decide which one you want to focus on first, so you don't get confused.
  • Conclude using the FAQ alone: The FAQ is the entry point, so if you have a strong argument, you need to go back to the main text.
  • I feel like I know the victory conditions just by looking at Hands-on: The design of the conditions must be confirmed in Verification.
