Notebook Source Trails Notebook On Evolution

A reader-facing view of what is grounded, what is pending, and where bibliography artifacts live.

Source Trails

Grounding status should be visible, not hidden

The Notebook can be useful before every source slot is resolved, but readers should still be able to tell what is already reviewed and what remains pending.

Current Status

What the current first ring looks like

Concept scaffolds are ready

The first-ring concept pages already carry reviewed explanatory structure, worked examples, and prompt seeds.

Many citations are still pending

Several concept pages still describe their source trails as pending. The explanations are usable, but the bibliography layer needs more review work.

How To Read The Status

What the current labels mean for a learner

Good for learning now

Use pages in this state confidently for orientation, concept comparison, and first-pass study. The explanatory structure is already reviewed.

Bibliography still growing

When a page says its source trail is pending, that usually means the teaching surface is ahead of the citation layer, not that the page should be ignored.

What to be cautious about

Use extra care when moving from a concept page to a strong historical or technical claim. That is where the later reviewed bibliography matters most.

Published Artifacts

Current bibliography and status files

Notebook export status

The export status files show whether the current Notebook bundle is materially complete as a published surface.

Bundle-local status

The first-ring bundle also has its own local export status under the learning-path directory.

Next step for source trails

The current public-facing improvement is visibility. The deeper next step is to turn pending source slots into reviewed source records through Literature Explorer and later CiteGeist workflows, while keeping the learner-facing trust signals plain and interpretable.
