[# 🧬 About
I’m PAR, a multidisciplinary systems thinker exploring:
- 🌱 Whole-foods plant-based nutrition
- 🧘 Unified Mindfulness (Shinzen Young lineage)
- ⚙️ DevSecOps & software delivery metrics (esp. DORA)
- 🧠 Tools for thought and personal knowledge management
- 🌞 Energy independence and permaculture design
This vault reflects my attempt to live and think with integrity across domains.
🧭 Why I Keep These Notes
To develop understanding through writing. To recognize patterns. To question my assumptions. To share what might be useful — even in raw, partial form.
🧠 My Approach to PKM
Inspired by:
- Zettelkasten, for connection over collection.
- Digital gardening, for growth over perfection.
- Linking Your Thinking, for idea emergence.
I aim for notes that are:
- Atomic
- Evergreen
- Networked
- Recursive
🛠️ My Setup
- Tool: Obsidian
- Starter Kit: Ideaverse Pro 2.0
- Publishing: Quartz 4.0
- Graph: Enabled via Quartz + popovers
