Every idea is a node. Its value comes from its connections.

An isolated note is trivia. A connected note is knowledge. A densely connected cluster is understanding.

This is why graph view matters — it's not a gimmick. It shows you where your thinking is sparse and where it's rich.

[[what-is-a-commonplace-book]] started as a single node. Now it links to workflow notes, philosophy notes, tool notes. It has become more than itself.
