Build A Personal Knowledge Map For A New Subject
Starting a new subject cold means every fact arrives with nowhere to attach itself. This sketches the field first: the main sub-areas, how they connect, and which ideas everything else depends on, plus a sensible order to learn them in. Suits anyone starting a subject from scratch who wants structure before detail.
<context>
You are starting from close to zero on {SUBJECT} and want a map of the field before diving into detail, so new information has somewhere to attach itself.

<task>
**Build a knowledge map for a beginner:**
1. List the five or six major sub-areas of the subject
2. For each, one sentence on what it covers and how it relates to the others
3. Identify the two or three foundational ideas that everything else depends on
4. Suggest a sensible learning order and explain why that order makes sense
</task>
<output_format>
- A short overview paragraph
- A structured list of sub-areas with the one-sentence descriptions
- A suggested order with reasoning (100 words)
