Who are you?

I'm the guy who installed this wiki, so the community could use it to collaborate. For the past couple decades I've made my living as a web developer, and I'm happy to help the community with anything web related.

I'm in the Discord as BeefSandwich27, but my friends call me Brandon.

What's the Point of All This?

I think GWT could also be called "Reality 101".

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.

How can I help?

Learn all the concepts in the Graph, Wall, Tome. 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.

Who owns this wiki? What's the story?

During the initial Discord voice call with Eric, I went ahead and bought the domain name and the server hosting. I was able to set everything up and get it running quickly, because several years ago I ran a wiki project that was much larger than this. That project was sold to Jimmy Wales's company, Wikia.

This project won't be sold. I'll donate all of it to Eric whenever he asks. I want the owner to be whoever Eric wants the owner to be. Right now I'm just the de facto custodian.
