Foundational Knowledge is a navigation page for a branch of the InfoPreserver library. Its job is to orient readers before they choose a more specific folder, and to show future contributors how this part of the collection is meant to grow.
In the current structure this branch sits under A2 Industrial Seed. At A2, the subject begins to depend on workshops, measurements, manufactured parts, trained operators, or controlled processes.
The child folders currently organize work around Astronomy and Navigation, Biology II, Chemistry, Computing, Geology, Hydraulics, Language and Translation, Logic and Critical Thinking, Materials Science Basic, and Mathematics. Some of those folders already contain documents, while others mark planned knowledge areas that still need sources, examples, and review.
Use this page as a map, not as the final technical manual. Start with the child folder closest to the immediate problem, then move sideways when the topic depends on another skill. A water, health, shelter, or workshop problem often crosses several branches.
For contributors, this branch should stay broad. Add detailed PDFs to the most specific leaf folder that fits. If a document applies to several topics, choose one primary home and preserve the cross-domain value through links, tags, or editorial notes.
- Start from usable vocabulary and examples before formal abstraction.
- Record assumptions, units, errors, and procedures so others can repeat the work.
- Teaching sequence matters: later skills are fragile if earlier skills are missing.
- Foundational Knowledge should be documented through definitions, simple examples, common tools or materials, safety limits, and visible signs of success or failure.
- A useful foundational knowledge page should explain what a beginner can observe directly, what requires measurement, and what should be referred to a more specialized source.
- Start from usable vocabulary and examples before formal abstraction.
- Schools, apprenticeships, field notebooks, technical training, measurement routines, and library expansion.
- Selecting future documents that teach prerequisites, worked examples, exercises, and practical applications.

This branch should contain orientation pages, practical manuals, teaching resources, standards, examples, and checklists that help readers move from general awareness to usable practice. It should not become a dumping ground for unrelated references just because a document mentions the topic in passing.
