# The Brotherhood Source Layer
The Brotherhood Source Layer is the public map of which notes should ground claims about [[The Brotherhood]], its mission, and its care path.
## Meaning
The Brotherhood needs clear public meaning and clear source boundaries.
Use these public notes as the current source layer:
| Question | Source note |
|---|---|
| What is The Brotherhood? | [[The Brotherhood]] |
| Who is it for? | [[Who The Brotherhood Helps]] |
| What is the care path? | [[The Brotherhood Care Path]] |
| What happens in a consult? | [[What Happens In A Consult]] |
| When might therapy be the next step? | [[When Therapy Might Be The Right Next Step]] |
| How does someone take action? | [[Book A Consult With The Brotherhood]] |
| How does the team align language? | [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]] |
| How does meaning connect to operations? | [[The Brotherhood Operating Meaning System]] |
The source rule is:
```text
Public claims should come from public notes.
Private conversations can inform meaning only after they are distilled into public-safe language.
Clinical details, client details, and internal operations should not be copied into the public graph.
```
The goal is not for everyone to adopt Joe's private language.
The goal is for The Brotherhood team to create shared language that helps accomplish the mission.
When a public note is unclear, use [[Meaning Disagreement Flow]] or [[Shared Meaning Check]].
When a public care path needs action, use [[The Brotherhood Care Path]].
## Source Of Meaning
This note is grounded in The Brotherhood public notes, Joe's public Mynd structure, and the need to keep team language alignment connected to source-safe public meaning.
## Relationship Over Time
This note should be updated whenever The Brotherhood team clarifies public mission language, care path language, or source boundaries.
It should become the public answer to: "Which notes should my agent read before summarizing The Brotherhood?"
