+# Explanation
+
+Background knowledge and context about Quagga2. These articles explain *why* things work the way they do, providing deeper understanding beyond just how to use the library.
+
+## Algorithm & Theory
+
+### [How Barcode Localization Works](how-barcode-localization-works.md) ⭐ Featured
+
+Deep dive into the computer vision algorithms that find barcodes in images. Covers:
+
+- Binary image creation with Otsu's method
+- Skeletonization
+- Component labeling
+- Orientation detection using image moments
+- Why this approach is rotation/scale invariant
+
+**Read this if**: You want to understand the "magic" behind barcode detection, optimize performance, or contribute to the localization code.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### [How Input Streams Work](input-streams.md)
+
+Technical deep dive into the three input stream types and their initialization flow. Covers:
+
+- LiveStream, VideoStream, and ImageStream differences
+- The async initialization sequence
+- Why `framegrabber` indicates init completion
+- Race conditions and how to avoid them
+
+**Read this if**: You're debugging initialization issues, dealing with React StrictMode, or want to understand the media pipeline.
+
+### [Algorithm Overview](algorithm-overview.md) *(Coming Soon)*
+
+High-level overview of Quagga2's processing pipeline from input to output.
+
+### [Code Architecture](architecture.md)
+
+Structure of the codebase, module organization, and design decisions.
+
+## Concepts
+
+### [Why asm.js for Skeletonization](why-asmjs.md) *(Coming Soon)*
+
+Explanation of why performance-critical code uses asm.js and what that means.
+
+### [Reader Design Patterns](reader-patterns.md) *(Coming Soon)*
+
+How barcode readers are implemented and how to create custom ones.
+
+## Differences from Other Doc Types
+
+**Explanation** articles:
+
+- Provide context and background
+- Discuss alternatives and trade-offs
+- Explain historical decisions
+- Connect concepts together
+- Are OK to read casually
+
+**Tutorials**: Step-by-step learning by doing
+**How-To Guides**: Task-focused, get things done
+**Reference**: Precise technical specifications
+
+## When to Read Explanations
+
+Read these articles when you:
+
+- Want to **understand** how things work under the hood
+- Need to **debug** complex issues
+- Want to **contribute** to the codebase
+- Are **curious** about design decisions
+- Want to **optimize** beyond basic tuning
