Lol Fredy, the language and expertise barrier is driving me nuts. I see vast amounts of concepts flying by without being able to fully grasp them.

If you want to Skype, I’d love to hear your opinions on the major flaws of Cyborganize and how they might be addressed, beyond the obvious “too hard for people to use.” I’m interested in design concepts. Basically I’ve had nobody to talk to about those issues, ever. Doesn’t matter if you disagree with me, I just want to understand what you think.

To answer some of this in a limited way - I rejected 3d interlinking as too complex and potentially limitless for current software and interface and users. I just accept the loss, and make up for it with rich longform text and “best fit” 2d outlining. I think you might need AI or intelligence augmentation to make comprehensive 3d interlinking practical.

The exception being T1 wikis, which are already rich longform text, so there’s lots of conceptual interlinking handled there. And managing the wiki links is not that onerous since you typically don’t produce that much volume at such a highly polished level.

The whole “interlinked nuggets” concept was something I explored in different ways, but it just seemed they were too slow and cumbersome to manipulate. Pop open a nugget, read it, see that it’s not really what you want, repeat, etc. That eventually evolved into a T3 blog devoted to longer posts with multiple tags. But I still don’t rely heavily on that except as an archive, because manipulation is cumbersome. It’s mainly a resource for writing T2 posts.

For now I mostly accept the limits of the subconscious brain to form a richly interconnected map, and of course whatever you manage to distill into T1 form.

And yes, managing the evolution of those nuggets is a whole ‘nother absolute nightmare. Yeesh. Frightens me just thinking about it.
