Structureless structure

  • wbox
    • The system should be extremely malleable, not making prior assumptions as the structure or bins that files will fall into. This just restricts the natural, organic development of structure from within, as outline notes piece together local groups of zettels and those are pieced together as needed. Note that this isn’t saying the system itself should be without form or recommended practices; this formlessness is referring to the actual structure of note topics themselves.
    • Classical note taking methods silo away information and implicitly enforce prior structure on how files should be developed. With extended hierarchies and little encouraged linking between files, information becomes difficult to access and iterate on.
