Every leaf links back here.\n\n# OIP Thinker Reference\n\n## §SELF — oip-thinker-reference\n\n**What this page is:** the root hub for the OIP thinker and protocol concept tree imported from the Kimi Agent reference pack.\n**What it explains:** how the articles are shelved (Thinkers, Protocol Concepts, Lineages, Token Drop Guides) and how to traverse them without prior context.\n**Why read it:** one page that makes the full set navigable — hierarchical, self-explaining, voxel-linked.\n\n### How to use this tree\n\n1. Start at [OIP root](https://miscsubjects.com/a/oip) if you need the protocol itself.\n2. Pick a **shelf** below.\n3. Open any leaf. Each leaf has §SELF, Up the tree, Related siblings, and machine URLs.\n4.
