# Memeroot · Knowledge Tree

**Start here:** open `GUIDE.html` in a browser.

Nineteen tick-boxes from "extracted the zip" to a transferable knowledge tree with atomic sections, a composed book, a forked variant with cryptographic lineage, and diff history. Progress saves automatically.

## What this stream demonstrates

The compose feature's three operators:

- **Include** — `<include ref="mr://..."/>` pulls another region inline. The included content reflects the latest state of its source. Edits propagate. The book is a thin composition over its sections, not a copy of them.
- **Fork** — clone a region and add a `<fork-source ref="..." timestamp="..."/>` element recording the lineage. The fork diverges; the lineage survives.
- **Diff** — walk two trees and report the structural delta. Content-level (not text-level) comparison.

These three together turn a body of sections into a derivation network. Atomic sections are the building blocks; books are compositions; forks are variants; diffs make divergence visible. Every operation is cryptographically attributable; every result is transferable in a single bundle.

## Why this matters

A traditional CMS tracks who-derived-from-what via database joins. If the database is lost, the lineage is lost. Memeroot tracks derivation via cryptographic references embedded in the content itself. The lineage IS the content. Lose any single store; the content elsewhere still proves what came from what.

Knowledge organisation as cryptography rather than relations.

No extra examples needed — you author the sections yourself during the tour. That's the point: the knowledge tree is what you make, not what we ship.
