Thank you for mentioning this - on the surface - rather obscure concept, that personally i have never come across in education.

After understanding it better it seems to be very close to the way the internet and hyperlinks work, it also reminds me of historian James Burke Connections school of understanding history.

I have just installed the wiki plugin in Sublime and will try to transition from my folders with extremely long tagged txt's that i search for, and instead go for the hyperlink method.

I have always thought that - western thought at least - works as a node system where the essence lies in the constellations, the extrapolations, and the weird and wonderful stuff happening between nodes of information, in how they are arranged and how they are traversed - something i have struggled with because my thoughts are rarely looked at again, ends up in piles of never revisited bookmarks and is redone instead of built upon.

I am already pretty exited about rearranging my thoughts / todo's / plans in this new way.
