Paradigm Tree Project Plan
============================

This checklist tracks the full workflow for completing  
**The Genealogy of Code – Paradigm Tree Project**.

You will complete **20 paradigm branches** and visualize them using Python.

--------------------------------------------------

Phase I — Build the Paradigm Tree
--------------------------------------------------

Imperative Trunk (HOW programs execute)

- [✅] 1. Assemble Machine Code branch  
- [✅] 2. Assemble Assembly branch  
- [✅] 3. Assemble Procedural branch  
- [✅] 4. Assemble Structured Programming branch  
- [✅] 5. Assemble Object-Oriented Programming branch  
- [✅] 6. Assemble Component-Based Programming branch  
- [✅] 7. Assemble Event-Driven Programming branch  
- [✅] 8. Assemble Concurrent Programming branch  
- [✅] 9. Assemble Parallel Programming branch  
- [✅] 10. Assemble Scripting Languages branch  

Declarative Trunk (WHAT the program describes)

- [✅] 11. Assemble Functional Programming branch  
- [✅] 12. Assemble Pure Functional Programming branch  
- [✅] 13. Assemble Logic Programming branch  
- [✅] 14. Assemble Constraint Programming branch  
- [✅] 15. Assemble Query Programming branch  
- [✅] 16. Assemble Dataflow Programming branch  
- [✅] 17. Assemble Reactive Programming branch  
- [✅] 18. Assemble Probabilistic Programming branch  
- [✅] 19. Assemble Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) branch  
- [✅] 20. Assemble AI Programming Languages branch  

--------------------------------------------------

Phase II — Populate Each Branch (Timeline Trios)
--------------------------------------------------

For **each of the 20 paradigms**, research and record:

- [✅] Originator (first language in the paradigm)  
- [✅] Industry Titan (most used today)  
- [✅] Neonate (post-2020 modern language)  

Total Languages Required: **20 × 3 = 60**

--------------------------------------------------

Phase III — Collect Required Data for Each Language
---------------------------------------------------

For every one of the 60 languages, fill in:

- [✅] Date Started  
- [✅] Genealogy (language family)  
- [✅] Environment (OS, cloud, browser, etc.)  
- [✅] Activity Status (actively used?)  
- [✅] Career Note (what industry uses it)  

--------------------------------------------------

Phase IV — Store the Dataset
------------------------------

- [✅] Choose storage format (CSV or Database)  
- [✅] Create `paradigm_languages.csv` or `languages.db`  
- [✅] Enter all 60 languages  
- [✅] Verify data is clean and readable  

--------------------------------------------------

Phase V — Python Visualization Program
--------------------------------------

- [✅] Load data from CSV or database  
- [✅] Group languages by Paradigm  
- [✅] Build tree structure in Python     
- [✅] Export image as `paradigm_tree.png`  

--------------------------------------------------

Phase VI — Sphinx Documentation
-------------------------------

- [✅] Add CSV to Sphinx project  
- [✅] Display CSV with `.. csv-table::`    
- [✅] Insert generated tree image   

--------------------------------------------------

Phase VII — Final Submission
----------------------------

- [✅] Hand-drawn Paradigm Tree poster  
- [✅] Completed CSV or database  
- [✅] Python program  
- [✅] Generated tree image  
- [✅] Ability to explain the code 

--------------------------------------------------
