Content of the Active Inference Journal — transcripts, metadata, captions, translations, and curated materials from the Active Inference Institute video library.

Learn more: https://www.activeinference.org/research/journal · Tooling: https://github.com/ActiveInferenceInstitute/Journal-Utilities

Content is source-namespaced so other channels and non-video sources can live alongside, e.g. data/video/<other-channel>/… or data/<other-type>/<source>/…:

data/video/activeinferenceinstitute/<Series>/<item>/
  metadata.json     # canonical: series, item, parts[{video_id, url, title, duration, upload_date}]
  transcript.txt    # clean text (part-tagged when multi-part)
  transcript.json   # timestamped segments (where available)
  captions/         # original-language .srt
  translations/     # translated .srt (per language)
  assets/           # images, html, prose, appendices, bibliography, …
  README.md         # human nav: titles, links, contents
docs/               # technical documentation (SCHEMA.md, …)
INDEX.json          # machine entry point: every item, its videos, paths
INDEX.md            # human index, grouped by series

Current item and video totals are generated in INDEX.json. Deliberate duplicate records are marked with duplicate_of; the index reports both indexed video records and unique video IDs. Every Institute channel video is represented (uncategorized videos live under Other/).

• main — everything above, without audio (lightweight to clone).
• audio — main + <item>/audio/<name>.64k.m4a (audio re-encoded to 64 kbps). git checkout audio to get the media.

Transcripts and metadata are pulled completely and idempotently from the Institute YouTube channel (captions, or local Whisper where captions are absent) by Journal-Utilities (scripts/refactor_journal.py, scripts/download_channel.py). See docs/SCHEMA.md.
