I was looking through our articles for a guide on scanning, but I couldn't find any. The only reference to a guide was one written by Stolide that pointed to a dead link.

Searching outside this site for a guide to scanning gave me nothing but pure fluff; does anyone know where I can find an in-depth article on scanning for newbies?

Stolide's article is on there.

Here's a thing I never see anywhere, scanning is telepathy on energy. Read a construct like you'd read a mind.

I guess the thought had occurred to me, but I never really thought more about it... Though I guess it makes sense to read a construct like you'd read a mind. After all, it has its own "mind" defined by its programming, in a way, however primitive that mind may be (it could just be "thinking" move in circles... move in circles... move in circles...). I'll try that sometime, though I can't scan at all xD

Not yet anyway.

It's kind of just a manifestation of thought in a weird roundabout way so you can pick information up with telepathy if you want.

Here's a thing I never see anywhere, scanning is telepathy on energy. Read a construct like you'd read a mind.

I think its more accurate to liken active telepathy to scanning for "thoughts", rather then the other way around. Passive telepathy and empathy seem to be slightly different in most of my personal experiences, though, unless its just the same on a subconcious level.

Also, never over complicate it, no matter what anyone says. While the scientific theory behind it can be complex, the actual practice and experience of scanning is rediculously simple--most people only fail because they can't quiet they're mind enough to prevent Analytical Overlay, which is why meditation or some other form of mental training is often necessary to gain control over the skill.
