It looks like Eric is trying to answer the question, "If I want to understand how the universe works, where the hell do I even start?" Once you can understand the topics in the GWT, then you're well positioned to START digging into the larger questions.

Every single topic in the GWT is fascinating to me, so I'm using the wiki as a tool to unpack it all, publicly, in real time, with collaborators. For example, I wanted to understand the Graph, so I linked each topic in it to Wikipedia. https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Graph,_Wall,_Tome#The_Graph

Then I realized that I'm not really even clear what a metric tensor is, so I followed the Wikipedia page, but it was a little overwhelming. So, I found a YouTube video. Then I figured, we could have a Metric Tensor page that becomes the on-ramp to understanding that concept. That page should answer the question, "As a layperson, how do I know what a Metric Tensor is?" Right now it's just a page that links to the YouTube video and Wikipedia, but eventually it will be more fleshed out and provide additional, clear resources for understanding the concept. https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Metric_tensor

== How can I help? ==


So, how can you help? Just do the same thing. Learn all the concepts in the GWT. Start with the Graph or the Wall. Find a topic and as you're learning, use the wiki as your notepad. Make it easier for the next person to follow your path. I know way less than a lot of the experts in here, but I have to start from where I am. And I'm using my lack of knowledge as a positive thing. I can document my journey in the wiki and minimize the amount of work/friction the next person has to contend with to get up to speed.
