Knowledge synthesis¶

This topic spans how conclusions are assembled from sources across the vault.

Entry points

• LLM Wiki pattern
• Why a synthesis layer
• Concept relationships — summary objects — How domain concepts link (table + YAML for agents)
• Domain content overview — Map of subject-matter strands (land, networks, power, data, business, time/PNT)
• Structural audit — page ownership, entity gaps, and hub routing — Canonical clusters vs sideways analyses; entity backlog
• Two-site smart farm operations — Topic hub (navigation): business plan package, artifacts, runbooks, comparisons
• East Tennessee two-site farm business plan (package) — First-class spine: reading order, pilots, artifacts, finance layer, critique, Git wiring — points to planning framework for full rubric. Also: executive summary; operational artifacts: two-site ops 5/120, instrumentation priority, validation before major spend; skeptical critique: hostile internal review; remediation: business plan remediation backlog; ingest campaign: business plan source-ingest campaign
• Information architecture — decision-safe operational brain (target design) — Target wiki IA: operations spine, telemetry/spatial hubs, SOPs/templates, cross-link rules, migration plan
• Strategic audit — decision-safe operations for a two-site smart farm — Backlog of gaps and artifacts for decision-safe split-site farm ops
• Business viability and farm economics — gap analysis (strategic audit) — Economics & business gaps only: revenue, enterprise, channels, staffing, insurance, accounting, CAPEX/OPEX, logistics, risk
• Smart technology architecture audit (strategic audit) — Smart stack: telemetry, radios, edge, HA/farmOS/MQTT/TSDB, time, registry, alerting, observability, firmware, degraded modes, cybersecurity
• Smart Farm Wiki — repository implementation plan (business plan integration) — Meta: how to wire the ET two-site plan into topic hubs, overview, and backlog (agent-executable)
• Agentic wiki improvement prompts (staged, strategic audit) — Pre-prompt + phased agent prompts to build the wiki in order (P0→P3 alignment)
• Implementation backlog — strategic audit (P0–P3) — Prioritized implementation list (dependencies, effort, top 10 first pages)
• Foundation analyses (two-site spine): Dual-site operations model — non-agritourism, Field telemetry reference architecture — homestead + 120-acre farm, Farm spatial model and asset registry standard, CAPEX, OPEX, and enterprise sequencing — two-site constraint, Weekly coverage matrix — two-site, Automation degraded modes SOP
• Runbooks (after architecture): Broker or backhaul down, Power loss at remote site, Sensor false positive / alert triage, Manual fallback — irrigation, gates, pumps
• Timing on the farm — synthesis — Seasonal, labor, water/energy, and clock-sync layers of “time”

Domain entry points

• Smart agriculture, Meshtastic, and LoRaWAN
• Field network IoT comparisons (HaLow, LoRa, NB-IoT)
• Off-grid solar power and storage (special topic)
• Smart home — Matter, Thread, and Home Assistant AI (special topic)
• Time synchronization — NTP and PTP sources
• Position, navigation, and timing alternatives
• ESP32, ESPHome, and smart-farming builds
• Homestead and regional gardening sources and Backyard livestock and homestead animal sources — see Ducks vs chickens — meat raising
• Smart mirror and e-paper display builds
• Agritourism, tiny housing, and natural building sources — see also Agritourism smart hobby farm — tiny-house rentals and guest farm work (query synthesis)
• Farm data, farmOS, and agriculture lab builds
• Data storage (farm and edge stacks) — MQTT and PostgreSQL/PostGIS documentation entry points
• Homelab, self-hosting, and edge narratives
• Home workshop, 3D printing, basement, off-grid smart home sources — maker space + off-grid HA ingests (3D printing in a workshop — summary, basement workshop design, off-grid smart home setups)
• Docker, Kubernetes, Compose, and Bake (edge and homelab)
• LoRa, MQTT, and gateway bridges
• Tennessee hobby farm and small-farm business sources
• Ponds, water features, and homestead hydrology
• Sustainable cropping, soil, and farm entry sources — forage (UT Beef & Forage, Grit), soil mapping (MSU), soil sensing (CropWatch) ingests toward stocking/forage backlog items
