Jerry's Nuggets Pointer

The Projects/Jerry's Nuggets/ subfolder of the source OGM Wiki contains 435 markdown files — about 67% of the source's total file count. It's effectively an embedded sub-wiki of Jerry Michalski's curated material from his Brain.

This wiki (ogm-wiki-wiki) treats Jerry's Nuggets as Tier B: pointed at, but not indexed page-by-page in this build pass. Discovery, theming, and people-extraction here all run over Tier A only.

Why a separate tier

Three reasons:

1. Different content register. Tier A is multi-author OGM-community wiki content. Tier B is single-curator notebook entries — atomic nuggets, mostly short, often quotes or links from elsewhere. Mixing them dilutes both.
2. Scale skew. If we processed all 653 source files uniformly, Tier B (435 files) would dominate the discovery layer simply by volume. The OGM-community-knowledge content would drown.
3. Jerry's Brain is the canonical home. The Nuggets folder in the source wiki is, in effect, an export/snapshot. The living version is at Jerry's Brain — TheBrain-format, much larger than what's in the wiki.

What's there

A sample of titles from Projects/Jerry's Nuggets/:

• 5-Minute Universities.md
• 5G, 6G... Now 10G.md
• A Guide to Using Jerry's Brain.md
• A Worldview Built from Contrarians.md
• ATproto Apps.md
• About Abundance.md
• Abundance, Abundance, Abundance.md
• Acknowledgements.md
• Ackoff Was a Master at Rethinking Constraints.md
• Active Queue.base
• … 425 more

Topics range across abundance, AI, contrarian thinking, governance, knowledge tools, Russell Ackoff, and many more. The Nuggets are characteristically:

• Short (most under 1500 chars)
• Topical (one idea per file)
• Frequently link-rich (Jerry's Brain style)
• Often quote-heavy

How to use this folder

If you want to dig into Jerry's Nuggets directly:

1. Browse on GitHub: https://github.com/OpenGlobalMind/ogm-wiki/tree/main/Projects/Jerry's%20Nuggets
2. Local clone: clone the source repo and ls Projects/Jerry's\ Nuggets/
3. The Brain itself (canonical, much larger): https://www.jerrysbrain.com/

Future work

A full discovery layer for Tier B is a planned later phase. Possible structures:

• Theme clusters — group nuggets by topic (abundance, AI, governance, knowledge tools, etc.)
• Reading paths — Jerry-curated tours through subsets
• Cross-references — surface where Tier B nuggets are cited by Tier A pages, and where Tier A concepts have related Nuggets
• Dashboards — most-recent, longest, most-linked

If you want to take this on, the corpus map already exists (corpus-map.json in the build session) and includes Tier B metadata.

Tier A pages that point into Tier B

The following Tier A pages reference Projects/Jerry's Nuggets/ content directly (this list is incomplete; full extraction is a future-work item):

• Information Tools/Nuggets, Narratives, and Points of View.md — concept page
• Templates/Template - Nugget.md — frontmatter schema
• Brain/Knowledge Repositories for Collective Intelligence.md — links to Jerry's Brain
