3-hour timer per domain
Targeted attention budget.
Any domain, compressed into a 3-hour understanding experience: 12 concepts, in dependency order, with the smallest possible example for each.
The fastest path through any technical domain is not the textbook order — it is the dependency order. Twelve concepts, taught in the order in which each one becomes possible to grasp, with the smallest example that demonstrates each. The result: in three hours of attention, a new entrant has the working model that lets them read the field's actual literature.
This platform is the schema for that. Pick a domain — quantum mechanics, double-entry bookkeeping, plate tectonics, transformer architecture. The system gives you the 12-node compression with concept dependencies visualized as a graph. You move through the graph in topological order; at each node, the explanation is the minimum required, and the worked example is the minimum that proves it.
Tip: click any node to see its dependency chain back to roots — and its topological layer.

12-node DAG per domain.
The smallest worked example that proves each concept.
Walk a domain in dependency order; backtrack when stuck.
Per-node 5-question check; you can't move on until ≥4 right.
