Quotes Collection Infrastructure Protocol
Abstract
This protocol documents the Quotes Collection infrastructure, a LAMP-based personal knowledge management system for curating, organizing, and exploring a lifetime collection of quotations. The system transforms an unstructured text file of 617 quotes spanning decades of intellectual exploration into a searchable, browsable, and AI-augmented knowledge base. Version 2.0 introduces the Tag Explorer—a Three.js 3D visualization implementing the "House of Mind" conceptual architecture where exterior surfaces present discrete passages while interior constellations reveal semantic relationships through co-occurrence topology.
Key innovations include: a visual import tool for meditative manual curation; a dual-tool AI tagging methodology (mechanical bulk processing and conversational refinement); a contemplative public interface for reflective engagement; and the centerpiece Tag Explorer offering rainbow-colored orb constellations connected by glowing tendrils that map the topology of seven decades of intellectual attention.
This document provides specifications for database schema, file architecture, AI integration patterns, 3D visualization implementation, and deployment methodology.
