Overview
Philosophy
If this were a book, this page is the table of contents. Each Part below is a chapter; each chapter links out to the concepts and templates that already exist elsewhere in this wiki instead of duplicating them. Unwritten chapters are listed as Planned rows, not empty files.
Parts
00 — Cognitive Biases & Decision-Making
Judgment errors that recur in engineering and career decisions, and the frameworks that correct for them. See Decision Journal Template for the practical exercise version of this Part.
- Sunk Cost Fallacy — escalation of commitment, loss aversion, and the marginal-cost reframe that fixes it
- Cognitive Biases Catalog — (planned) — Baader-Meinhof / frequency illusion, spotlight effect, anchoring, confirmation bias
- Decision Frameworks — (planned) — optimal stopping (37% rule), regret minimization, satisficing, Bayesian updating
01 — Mental Models & Systems Thinking
(Planned) First-principles reasoning, second-order effects, and antifragility — the general thinking tools this wiki’s technical chapters (see Observability’s Core Mental Models for a domain-specific example) each apply to a narrower problem.
02 — Stoic Practice
(Planned) Dichotomy of control, premeditation of adversity, and virtue-based resilience. See Stoic Journal Template for the daily practice version of this Part.
