CognitiveMLStudio — Open Materials

The public learning resource behind CognitiveMLStudio: articles with companion notebooks, subject-level study notes, manim animation code, and hands-on projects shared in the open as the atlas is built.

CognitiveMLStudio is an open-world learning platform for AI, machine learning, mathematics, and cognitive science — structured as an explorable atlas (worlds → regions → quests) rather than a linear curriculum. This repo is the workbench; the site is the world.

What lives here

├── articles/        ← one folder per blog post: the writing + companion notebook + figures
├── notes/           ← subject-level study notes (LaTeX) and worked-example notebooks
├── projects/        ← code experiments and side-quest solutions for learners
├── manim/           ← animation source code (+ small previews) behind the site's graphics
├── reading_lists/   ← curated reading by area (ML, neuro, cognitive science, …)
├── assets/          ← brand assets and shared images
└── drafts/          ← private working area (gitignored — never appears here)

Two organizing principles: knowledge is filed by subject (notes/, reading_lists/), and outputs are filed by unit (articles/, projects/, manim/ scenes). Articles are published on Medium at medium.com/cognitivemlstudio and surface on the site's Dispatches page; the source of record — text, companion notebook, and figures — lives here in articles/.

Conventions

• Articles: one folder per post (articles/YYYY-MM-slug/) holding the text, its companion notebook, and figures. See articles/README.md.
• Notebooks: run clean top-to-bottom before committing (Kernel → Restart & Run All); definition → worked examples → exercise. Full guidelines in notes/README.md.
• LaTeX notes: commit .tex source and the compiled PDF; build junk is gitignored.
• Manim: scene source is committed; rendered output (media/) is not. Small preview GIFs/PNGs go in manim/previews/. See manim/README.md.
• Big files stay out: datasets, model weights, and full renders are linked, never committed.
• Drafts: work-in-progress lives in drafts/ (gitignored) and is moved into its real home when it's ready to go live.
