Psionics Reading Guide

Psionics Reading Guide

Audience

Difficulty	Plain

Curated reading paths through the Psionics cluster, organised by reader background. Each path is ordered: read top to bottom. Side-branches are linked but optional.

If you are not sure which path is yours, read the Psionics_Primer first; it ends with a "by interest" table that may be enough.

Path 1 — Curious Public

You have a high-school science background, no calculus, and want to understand "what is this and is it real?".

How the paths interlock

Every path passes through the trunk pages: Psionics, Psi_Field, 5D_Action_Principle, Symbol_Glossary. The remaining pages branch outward by topic. The full dependency graph is rendered at File:Psionics_dependency_dag.png and specified in the prerequisite-chain documentation.
