fix: Restore original README content

The previous RSR standardization commit accidentally replaced the full
README content with a minimal template. This restores the original
project documentation.

+= Wayfinder: Epistemic Infrastructure for Journalism
 
-Instant messaging documentation generator
+*Status*: Conceptual Design → Proof of Concept Development

+Wayfinder is a heutagogic capability development pathway and interactive journalism framework designed to transform journalism from static truth-claims into navigable knowledge ecosystems.
 
-toc::[]
+== The Problem
 
-== Overview
+We haven't moved from "Truth to Post-Truth" but from an era where knowledge systems were simpler to one where they're overwhelmed by data velocity. *Data is outpacing knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom.*
 
-im-docs is part of the link:https://rhodium.sh[Rhodium Standard] (RSR) ecosystem.
+Traditional journalism says: "Here's what happened."
+Wayfinder says: "Here's the evidence ecosystem. Navigate it. Understand how we know."
 
-Domain: *software-development*
+== The Solution
 
-== Installation
+Wayfinder creates *boundary objects*—interactive investigations that serve different communities while maintaining evidential coherence:
 
-[source,bash]
-----
-# Clone from GitHub (primary)
-git clone {url-github}
+- *Activists*: Tool for mobilization
+- *Policymakers*: Decision support system
+- *Academics*: Research resource
+- *Skeptics*: Challenge mechanism
+- *Affected Communities*: Validation and voice
+- *Journalists*: Living investigation
 
-# Or from mirrors
-git clone {url-gitlab}
-git clone {url-codeberg}
-----
+All use the SAME evidence but interpret it for their needs. This enables *coordination without consensus*.
 
-== RSR Stack
+== Core Framework: PROMPT
 
-This project follows RSR conventions:
+Every claim is evaluated across six dimensions:
 
-* ✅ ReScript for frontend/logic
-* ✅ Deno for JS runtime
-* ✅ WASM for performance-critical code
-* ✅ Rust/OCaml/Haskell for systems/proofs
-* ✅ Guile/Scheme for configuration
-* ❌ No TypeScript
-* ❌ No Go
-* ❌ No npm
+- *P*rovenance: Who said it? What's their track record?
+- *R*elevance: Does this actually address the claim?
+- *O*bjectivity: What biases exist? Are they disclosed?
+- *M*ethods: How was evidence gathered? Is it sound?
+- *P*erspective: What viewpoints are represented? What's missing?
+- *T*imeliness: Is this current? Has it been superseded?
 
-== Mirrors
+== Knowledge Pipeline: Data → Knowledge → Intelligence → Wisdom
 
-[cols="1,2"]
-|===
-| Platform | URL
+Traditional journalism conflates all four. Wayfinder separates and makes each navigable:
 
-| GitHub (primary) | {url-github}
-| GitLab | {url-gitlab}
-| Bitbucket | {url-bitbucket}
-| Codeberg | {url-codeberg}
-|===
+1. *Data Layer*: Raw evidence, fully accessible
+2. *Knowledge Layer*: Structured claims with PROMPT analysis
+3. *Intelligence Layer*: Pattern recognition, contradiction identification
+4. *Wisdom Layer*: Practical reasoning for decision-making
+
+== For Demoralized Journalists
+
+> "You're not obsolete. You're needed more than ever—but as Wayfinders, not gatekeepers. People need guides who show them HOW to navigate complexity, not just WHAT to believe."
+
+=== The Learning Pathway
+
+Self-directed, result-focused capability development:
+
+- *Level 1* (4-8 hours): Evidence Mapper - Map one claim's evidence using PROMPT
+- *Level 2A* (8-12 hours): Process Documentarian - Show your methodology transparently
+- *Level 2B* (6-10 hours): Uncertainty Communicator - Replace false certainty with honest uncertainty
+- *Level 3* (20-40 hours): Knowledge Architect - Create full interactive investigation
+- *Level 4* (Ongoing): Epistemic Infrastructure Builder - Build tools, teach others
+
+Each level produces *usable professional outputs*, not just learning badges.
+
+== Quick Start
+
+=== For Beta Testers (Journalists)
+
+1. *Read*: [claude.md](./claude.md) for full context
+2. *Try*: Level 1 Evidence Mapping (4 hours)
+   - Choose one claim you're currently reporting
+   - Apply PROMPT framework to evaluate evidence
+   - See immediate value in your work
+3. *Decide*: Continue or not (no pressure)
+
+=== For Academic Partners
+
+- *PhD Integration*: This research can be dissertation work
+- *Curriculum Development*: Level 1-3 as journalism course modules
+- *Research Questions*: Measuring impact on comprehension, trust, behavior change
+
+=== For Developers
+
+- *Phase 1* (NOW): Obsidian/TiddlyWiki/Notion prototypes
+- *Phase 2* (3-9 months): SvelteKit + PostgreSQL + graph database custom platform
+- *Phase 3* (9-18 months): Ecosystem building, community tools
+
+== Theoretical Foundations
+
+=== Boundary Objects (Susan Leigh Star)
+Objects that maintain coherence across communities while adapting to local needs, enabling coordination without consensus.
+
+=== Cognitive Science Integration
+- Progressive disclosure (avoid cognitive overload)
+- Meta-cognitive prompts (make thinking visible)
+- Empathy-first contradictory evidence (reduce defensiveness)
+- Transparent navigation analytics (show exploration patterns)
+
+=== Bio-Psycho-Social-Technical Systems
+Designed considering biological attention limits, psychological identity protection, social collective sense-making, and technical accessibility requirements.
+
+== Project Status
+
+=== Completed
+- ✅ Conceptual framework (PROMPT, boundary objects, heutagogic design)
+- ✅ Four-level capability pathway design
+- ✅ Cognitive science integration
+- ✅ SWOT analysis
+- ✅ Technical architecture planning
+
+=== In Progress
+- 🔄 Level 1 materials development
+- 🔄 Evidence mapping templates
+- 🔄 First example investigation
+
+=== Next Steps (Week 1-4)
+- Week 1: Document Level 1 pathway, create evidence mapping template, build one example
+- Week 2: Share with 3 journalist friends for feedback
+- Week 3: Build simple website (GitLab Pages)
+- Week 4: First 5-10 participants start Level 1
+
+== Key Documents
+
+- *[claude.md](./claude.md)*: Comprehensive project documentation for AI assistants
+- *[CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md)*: How to contribute to Wayfinder
+- *[CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)*: Community standards
+- *[SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md)*: Security and transparency policies
+
+== Contact & Collaboration
+
+*Looking For*:
+- Beta-testing journalists (especially demoralized ones!)
+- Academic partners (journalism schools, media studies)
+- Funders (Knight Foundation, Omidyar Network, European Media & Information Fund)
+- Developers (SvelteKit, PostgreSQL, D3.js)
+- i-Docs practitioners
+- Cognitive scientists interested in epistemic interfaces
+
+*Philosophy*: Build in public, open source from day one, collaborative not competitive.
