kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes,
67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer.

- scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault:
  slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site
  links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables
  rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion
  list plus a privacy guard.
- tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and
  aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note
  (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages
  list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other
  pages get a Related Knowledge block.
- Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never
  displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid
  diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

Enneagram

Nine ways of being, nine ways of going wrong, nine ways home.


The Enneagram is a map of nine personality types arranged around a nine-pointed figure, each type defined not by its behaviour but by its underlying motivation — a core fear and a core desire that organize the whole self around them. Unlike a fixed label, it is a map of movement: each type has two neighbouring wings that colour it, and two arrows that show where it goes in growth (integration) and in stress (disintegration). It pairs naturally with the vault's Jungian material — another way of naming the patterns that run us until we make them conscious.


The Three Centres

The nine types cluster into three centres of intelligence, each with a driving emotion:

Gut / Body (anger, control) — Type 8 - The Challenger, Type 9 - The Peacemaker, Type 1 - The Reformer Heart (shame, image) — Type 2 - The Helper, Type 3 - The Achiever, Type 4 - The Individualist Head (fear, security) — Type 5 - The Investigator, Type 6 - The Loyalist, Type 7 - The Enthusiast

The Nine Types

Type Name Core Desire
1 Type 1 - The Reformer Integrity, to be good
2 Type 2 - The Helper To be loved and needed
3 Type 3 - The Achiever To be valuable, admired
4 Type 4 - The Individualist To be uniquely themselves
5 Type 5 - The Investigator To be capable, competent
6 Type 6 - The Loyalist Security and support
7 Type 7 - The Enthusiast Satisfaction, freedom
8 Type 8 - The Challenger To protect themselves, control
9 Type 9 - The Peacemaker Inner and outer peace
