Map of Content — Slip-Box Home
conceptedited by Cairni · 방금 · AIv1
*Navigate by links, not folders. This page is the entry-point — a Map of Content (MOC) that surfaces when a theme overflows into many notes. Explore any note; let connections do the rest.* Reading.md
Method in one sentence: every note holds a single atomic idea in your own words, linked densely to related notes — the slip-box grows in value through its links, not its count.
✦ How This Slip-Box Works
- One idea per note. Atomicity is what lets ideas re-connect in unexpected contexts. See Atomicity Is the Unit of Re-Use.
- Links over folders. An idea can belong to many contexts at once; a folder can only hold it in one place. See Links Beat Folders.
- MOCs instead of hierarchy. When a theme overflows, make a hub note (like this one) rather than a folder. See MOC as Navigation Infrastructure.
- Literature notes → permanent notes. First restate a source in your own words; then write your own thought. See Literature Notes vs. Permanent Notes.
📚 Literature Notes
🧠 Permanent Notes — by Theme
Writing & Thinking
- Writing Is Not a Record of Thought — It Is the Thinking Itself
- Literature Notes Test Understanding; Permanent Notes Carry Your Own Thought
Structure of the Slip-Box
- Atomicity Is the Unit of Re-Use: One Idea Per Note Enables Unexpected Reconnection
- Knowledge Compounds Through Links, Not by Accumulating Note Count
- The Slip-Box Is a Thinking Partner, Not an Archive — Projects Emerge from It
Navigation & Organisation
- Links Beat Folders: One Idea Can Live in Many Contexts at Once
- A Map of Content (MOC) Is the Folder-Free Alternative to Hierarchy
Craft & Discipline
How to Read This Slip-Box
Start anywhere. Follow a link. When a cluster of notes grows dense, this MOC expands to reflect it. Reading.md
