The Tome is '' | The Tome is ''The Road to Reality'' by [[Sir Roger Penrose]], which contains a comprehensive account of the physical universe, as it was understood around 2007. To gain an understanding and intuition for the information contained in 'The Graph', and 'The Wall', reading this book will provide a great head-start. With 34 chapters spread over 1000 pages, including diagrams, equations, and descriptions, there are multiple avenues for understanding all concepts. | ||

* Organize expeditions - (guided or unguided) tours through the portal and into the wonderful world we call physics. Intellectual tourism. | |||
* Create/assemble resources that allow uninitiated to quickly and easily get up to speed with state of the project. | |||
* Create/assemble resources that provide analogies for more complex principles - to demonstrate a key feature of the principle. | |||
* Create/assemble resources that provide a geometric intuition for the equations and principles of fundamental physics - Geometric interpretations are most amenable to being visually represented.Β An example, is shown [[Example Visualization|here]]. | |||
* Create [[Accelerators:|Accelerators: 2 minute guides to fundamental principles.]] | |||
* Publish discussions and comments on chapters of the Tome. | |||
* Publish study guide for the Tome. | |||
* Publish roadmaps for navigating through the Tome. | |||
* Create dependency graphs for chapters of the Tome. | |||
