LP-10000: Learning Paths Index

Abstract

This LP defines canonical learning paths for different roles interacting with the Lux Network. Each path answers: What do I read first? What can I safely skip? Where do I go deep vs broad?

Motivation

The Lux LP system contains 200+ proposals. Without guided paths, newcomers get lost. These paths serve as:

Onboarding curricula
Documentation navigation roots
Partner and investor entry points
