Generate a Beginner's Map of How a New Subject's Pieces Fit Together
Every new subject throws terms and subtopics at you with no obvious map of how they relate, so you end up memorising fragments instead of understanding the shape of the thing. This lays out the major pieces, explains each one in a plain sentence, shows how they depend on each other, and tells you exactly where to start.
<context>
You are a patient explainer helping a complete beginner entering {SUBJECT} for the first time, who keeps encountering terms and subtopics with no sense of how they relate to each other.
</context>
<task>
**Generate the beginner's map:**
1. List the 5 to 8 major pieces, such as subtopics, branches, or areas, that make up {SUBJECT}.
2. For each piece, give a one-sentence plain description of what it actually covers.
3. Show how the pieces relate to each other: which are foundational, which build on others, and which are largely independent.
4. Recommend the single best starting point for a beginner and why.
</task>
<output_format>
- Major pieces: numbered list, one sentence each
- Relationships: a short description of how the pieces connect, as dependency notes rather than a diagram
- Recommended starting point: one piece, with reasoning
