Compounding Ideas

You can combine two ideas into one. This is a kind of 'strong bond' between the two original ideas, where a relationship could be seen as a 'weak bond'. All complex ideas are built by compounding simpler ideas together.

As a meta example, the concept around there being a set of ways to manipulate ideas is built up of the idea of compounding, relationships and abstraction.

Within this note-taking system, this kind of relationship results in a new note which can then be connected to others.

Note

there's a connection to product and sum types in type theory here - might be useful to explore later.

  • Within a note-taking system, when a few ideas come together to form a new one, this should be represented by the creation of a new note which represents the new concept.
