       | Great concept! However like many zettelkasten implementations it
       | gives the user too much freedom imo. To me zettelkasten are most
       | useful because of their limitations, like restricting the size of
       | each note, limiting how many notes you can see at a time, or
       | limiting how fast you can traverse through notes. I think it's
       | more important to be able to hold the overall structure of notes
       | in your mind, which zettelkasten facilitates by intentionally
       | making everything harder to do.

       | We leave such data trails, but every time we switch or another
       | tool comes along, the switching cost/conversion process leaves
       | much to be desired and some of our prior history beyond reach.
       | 
       | Even as plain text, the sheer feature discrepancy between tool A
       | and B leaves our knowledge siloed. The semantic Web had its
       | moments, but we never took that concept to heart when considering
       | our individual webs of thought.
       | 
       | Your semantics and mine may be inoperable, but that's okay. We
       | just need better tooling to accustom our personal semantics, and
       | I think projects like this lay the groundwork for that.

       | 
       | Is it just a float, i.e. the fractal is not really infinite?
