AI.Web Beginner / Apprentice Packet v2.0: A Plain-Language Entry Map for ProtoForge, Forge, Gilligan, RMC, and the Memory Economy

This packet is a beginner-facing orientation document for AI.Web, a local-first operating environment for memory, meaning, documents, code, symbolic tools, user-owned agents, and contribution tracking. It introduces the public build path without requiring the reader to begin inside the full archive or technical codebase.The packet explains the major AI.Web layers in plain language: ProtoForge as the local foundation layer, Forge as the visible workbench, Gilligan as the user-owned agent layer, RMC as the meaning-compilation layer, EchoForge as the reflection and debate layer, the Memory Economy as the contribution layer, and Genesis Nodes as the long-term path toward local ownership.Its purpose is to give readers, editors, testers, apprentices, technical builders, and future node operators a clear first map into the system. It does not replace the code, live builds, or source documents. It gives the first public doorway through them.
