Appendices: Constellation Clusters

Reference material organized by thematic clusters. These are supporting documents that complement the main reading paths.

AI Agent Patterns

Deep-dive explorations of agentic AI architecture: context windows as working memory, orchestration patterns for multi-agent coordination, tool use and capability expansion, memory systems that persist beyond the session, error recovery and resilience, prompt engineering as programming, evaluation strategies, and the trajectory of agentic systems.

Knowledge Graph Architecture

The technical deep-dives behind building a personal knowledge graph - from embedding strategies and semantic search to link discovery and graph evolution - showing how GraphRAG transforms scattered notes into searchable, connected knowledge.

Personal Infrastructure

Practical applications of infrastructure thinking to personal productivity, knowledge systems, and development methodology - case studies showing how the patterns from the book translate into working systems that amplify individual capability.

ADHD Patterns

The personal side of the ADHD-AI parallel: deep explorations of how working memory constraints, external compensation strategies, pattern recognition strengths, and hyperfocus as optimal batch processing create a structural isomorphism between ADHD cognition and AI architecture.
