## Map of Content — Nate B. Jones Unified Vault (40 videos, 1442 notes)

This unified vault synthesizes 40 videos by [[entity-nate-b-jones]] across the AI agent, infrastructure, and future-of-work series. Each day's notes are preserved verbatim; this MOC provides cross-day navigation only.

### Reading Order
1. Start with `_AGENT_PRIMER.md` for the unified arc.
2. Browse the cross-day arcs below to identify the conceptual lens.
3. Drill into day-specific notes via the per-day pillars.
