## What the material is for

<ResearchPackGuide section="purpose" />

## Choose material for the question

<ResearchPackGuide section="downloads" />

## Start with one article

Ordinary use requires no programming. Download and unzip the pack, read README and the snapshot ID in MANIFEST.json, then choose relevant articles from `knowledge/markdown/`. Add `rules/SYSTEM_RULES.md` when you need collaboration rules; a README or URL list alone is not the article. Start with Metrological Foundations and Origins rather than importing the whole theory collection at once.

Readable Markdown is generated from the same MDX content and equation registry as the website. It preserves raw LaTeX, sources, section anchors and figure descriptions. Sliders, live calculations and interface actions do not run in a static file; return to the linked page to use them. Original component source remains in `knowledge/mdx/`; script placeholders do not substitute for article text.

The [zero-code steps, first question and expected self-checks](/en/ai/build-your-own#steps) show how to confirm that your AI read the material. Check its supported file types and capacity separately.

## Check sources and versions

Knowledge records preserve content IDs, section anchors, raw LaTeX, source snapshots, module versions, theory/review/evidence states, language counterparts and SHA-256. The website MDX, equation registry, Prediction Registry and Open Problems jointly generate pages, retrieval and the pack. Importing a guide, archive or candidate into AI does not promote its status.

Exact equation, prediction and problem IDs precede keyword search. Contiguous sections retain premises, intermediate steps and conclusions. Context budgets select whole sections and expose omitted-context warnings. Open the cited passage to check support, not merely whether its identifier exists.

Every request pins a knowledge snapshot and the source version of the selected page. An unavailable historical snapshot fails explicitly rather than silently switching to current content. Knowledge snapshots and individual module versions are separate records; editing instructions does not rename all modules Researcher v1.0.

Declared derivation dependencies, conceptual associations, experimental comparisons, downstream applications and open tasks are distinct. Equation input, algebra, context and other relation types are retained. A page link or declared dependency is not proof that a derivation closes.
