Stacks Series — Index

Ben Um · April 1, 2026

This series explores the practical methodology behind building and leveraging a rich, accretive context from a growing article series. It documents how a simple workflow—immutable HTML chapters ordered by lightweight .mastack files, reconciled into both a clean static site and a consolidated Markdown “Mental Stack” dump—turns scattered writing into a living, reusable knowledge substrate.

The approach treats article series as HyperCard for thought: sparse, explicit waypoints guide rich relational emergence, while preserving the source of truth and making high-fidelity context instantly available for LLMs. From the SwiftUI “views are values” brick that started it all, through Kernel Reduction, dad-joke turbulence, and modular topologies, this series shows how the same Mental Stack + DJ workflow can be engineered, instrumented, and scaled for sustained discovery.
