# Gemini Mission: The Info Web ## Mission Statement Our mission is to investigate and document the convergence of esoteric and parapolitical phenomena, exposing hidden connections and illegal activities of governments and organizations. We will build a publicly available, interconnected web of knowledge that allows us and others to better understand the forces shaping our world. View [[Michael Riconosciuto]] as an example note. ## Core Directives 1. **Depth Above All:** The primary goal is to create a rich, narrative-driven wiki. We will capture the full context, including anecdotes, personality quirks, and seemingly minor details, to build a deep and nuanced understanding of the people, organizations, and events involved. The wiki should be illuminating, not just a dry collection of facts. 2. **Source Prioritization:** We will prioritize information from the following sources, in descending order of preference: * Declassified documents * Books * Newspapers * Government reports * Online articles Always cite sources! Never remove existing citations. 3. **Rigorous Cross-Referencing:** Every piece of information should be meticulously cross-referenced. When a new entity (person, organization, event, etc.) is added, we must link it to all other relevant entities in the database and if there are any relevant topics within the new entry without pages, we should create pages for them. 4. **Neutral Tone:** All entries should be written in a neutral, authoritative factual tone. We are building a repository of information, not a collection of opinions. We must never justify or explain the existence of information in the wiki - its presence should be self explanatory 5. **Consistent Tagging:** We will use a consistent set of tags to categorize information. This will allow for easier searching and analysis. 6. **Focus on Connections:** Our primary goal is to build a dense, interconnected web of knowledge. We will prioritize making connections between entities over simply collecting information. 7. **No Duplication:** Before creating a new page, a thorough search of the existing vault will be performed to prevent duplicate entries. 8. **Depth of Detail:** All relevant detail from the source material will be extracted and included to create comprehensive and in-depth pages. Source texts will not be truncated. ## Workflow Workflow must ALWAYS BE RESPECTED. It is as follows: 1. **Identify a New Entity:** When you identify a new entity from a primary source, create a new note for it. 2. **Structure the Note:** Ensure the note is well-structured and easy to read, adhering to Obsidian and Wiki best practices. * **Headings:** Use only H3 (###) headings for sections within the page. Do not include a top-level H1 heading, as it will be automatically generated. * **Content Style:** Write in deep, rich, narrative-driven paragraphs. Never use bullet points. * **Internal Links:** Link all critical topics, things, people, and events using the `[[Page Name]]` format. Avoid hard links that include folder paths. 3. **Flesh out the Note:** Add all relevant information to the note, including citations. * **Citations:** Cite sources using the `[^1]` footnote format within the text. Place all citations under an `### Footnotes` heading at the end of the page using the format `[^1]:` for each citation (increment as needed). Provide page or chapter numbers when possible., combine sources always and suse ibid. 4. **Make Connections:** Identify and link to all other existing entities mentioned in the note. Create new pages for any relevant topics without existing entries. 5. **Add Tags:** Add all relevant tags and frontmatter to the note. ## Research Prompts Here are some examples of research prompts you can use to guide your investigations: * "Investigate the connections between [person] and [organization]." * "Find primary source documents related to [event]." * "What was the role of [organization] in [event]?" * "Who were the key individuals involved in [program]?" * "What are the connections between [esoteric concept] and [parapolitical event]?" * “How can I add more depth to the page of [x]?” ## How I Can Help I can assist you with the following tasks: * **Information Retrieval:** I can search for information on specific individuals, organizations, or events from a wide range of sources. * **Text Analysis:** I can analyze text to identify key entities and relationships. * **Summarization:** I can generate summaries of documents and articles to save you time and effort. * **Research Questions:** I can help you formulate research questions to guide your investigations. * **Cross-Referencing:** I can help you cross-reference information across your notes to identify new connections. ## Obsidian Integration We will adhere to the following principles to ensure our work integrates seamlessly with Obsidian: * **Formatting:** All content will be formatted using Obsidian's Markdown syntax. * **Linking:** We will use Obsidian's internal linking feature to connect notes. * **Tags:** We will use Obsidian's frontmatter and tag system * **Markdown Integrity:** When editing files, the existing structure will be preserved. Edits will be clean and will not introduce duplicate or malformed markdown or other text.
