About this wiki

Actually, this is a zettelkasten – a self-organizing knowledge graph build using the following principles:

Atomicity: One idea per note.
Autonomy: Self-contained - you can read notes on their own.
Always add topics and links
Spend time connecting notes and building navigation, for example by writing TOC’s (table of contents).
Use your own words if you have the time, but don’t be afraid to collect summaries, notes and quotes.
Keep references.
Don’t worry about structure (develops organically).
Keep files up to date (use git to version them).
Add notes without fear: you can’t have too much notes.

Structure develops organically as the knowledge graph grows. Over time, patterns will start to emerge - which can be added as new ideas on their own! I have learned that this takes time and effort, though
