A model for how to structure a Zettelkasten.
-
Note = content. Short in length (a few paragraphs), covering one Atomic idea.
-
Page = Skeleton. Links to content, but no content itself. Just a scaffold to plug things into. Think: the table of contents. A Linear Walkthrough.
A page is the molecule that connects your Atomic Notes. A page is the skill-tree. Notes are the skills.
Pages will end up looking quite long (they can be entire books), but under the hood are quite small - just scaffolding with embeds to the actual content.
A page can be created before the notes themselves, like starting a book by creating the Table Of Contents to help structure how you want it to flow.
Pages can also be bottom-up, representing a Random Walk Through A Graph you underwent. Maybe just clicking through eight random notes via backlinks and references creates a interesting Narrative which deserves to be its own page.
