Concepts Filing
Reusable mental models, teachable frameworks, and transferable explanations go in
concepts/.
Resolver Status
This is a resolver companion page. The canonical filing rule lives in Filing Decision Tree. Use Wiki Brain Operating Model first to decide whether the knowledge should become a standalone page, section, ledger row, generated view, redirect, or no durable write. Then use this page as a compact retrieval handle for the local rule. Source: User request, 2026-07-01
File Here
- Principles, patterns, explanations, theories, and models that transfer beyond one person, project, or source.
- Skill-family synthesis pages when the durable subject is a capability family rather than executable source.
- Cross-section primitives that connect projects, tools, skills, workflows, designs, architectures, or decisions.
Do Not File Here
- Kevin's personal belief: use
philosophies/. - Paper/method-specific evidence: use
research/. - Concrete project architecture: use
architecture/orprojects/.
Talk Test
If Kevin could explain the idea in a talk without the original source open, it probably belongs in concepts/.
Local Routing
Read Concept System Map after this page. It owns the current concept families, no-merge decisions, generated skill-family rule, and concept-page contract.
Create a new concept only when it explains a reusable primitive. If the durable object is concrete, route it elsewhere:
- system boundary ->
architecture/ - project/product/company ->
projects/ - tool/service/library ->
tools/ - procedure/runbook ->
skills/orworkflows/ - Kevin belief ->
philosophies/ - paper/method evidence ->
research/
Closeout
If this rule changes, update Filing Decision Tree first, then this companion page, relevant directory READMEs, generated packs if routing changed, wiki/_index.md, qmd, and wiki/log.md. Source: Index Logging Protocol, 2026-07-01

- 2026-07-01 | Linked this resolver companion to Concept System Map so concept filing now uses the refreshed family map, no-merge decisions, generated skill-family rule, and concept-page contract. Source: User request, 2026-07-01
- 2026-07-01 | Updated this resolver companion to align with the current filing authority stack: Wiki Brain Operating Model for shape, Filing Decision Tree for directory placement, and Index Logging Protocol for closeout. Source: User request, 2026-07-01
