- Wiki Map.canvas: 13 nodes at golden angle 137.5deg (Fibonacci/sunflower pattern) - index at center, 3 domain _indexes in ring 1, content in outer rings - Color coded: orange=concepts, purple=entities, green=sources, blue=navigation - 17 semantic edges with labels - graph.json: search:path:wiki — eliminates all plugin file noise - hideUnresolved:true — removes phantom Subject A/B nodes - nodeSizeMultiplier 1.8 — hub nodes visually dominant - repelStrength 30 — clean radial spreading - Created wiki/concepts/_index.md, wiki/entities/_index.md, wiki/sources/_index.md - These are domain hub nodes that create the 3-ring hierarchy in graph view - All wiki pages now link to their domain _index - Creates proper hub-and-spoke topology in force-directed graph

Andrej Karpathy
AI researcher and educator. Former Director of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI. Known for deep learning education (Neural Networks: Zero to Hero series, micrograd, nanoGPT) and for publishing practical AI patterns.
Key Contributions to This Wiki
Karpathy originated the LLM Wiki Pattern — the idea of using LLMs to build and maintain a persistent, compounding knowledge base rather than re-deriving knowledge from raw documents on every query.
He published the idea as an "idea file" — intentionally abstract, designed to be copy-pasted into a Claude Code or similar session and built out collaboratively. The cosmic-brain plugin is a production implementation of this pattern.
His framing: "The wiki is a persistent, compounding artifact. The cross-references are already there. The contradictions have already been flagged. The synthesis already reflects everything you've read."
Notable Quote
"I thought that I had to reach for fancy RAG, but the LLM has been pretty good at auto-maintaining index files and brief summaries of all documents and reads all the important related data fairly easily at this small scale."
