I'm still wondering exactly how Luhmann's indexing played out. With 90k zettels it must have been efficient and effective indeed, for him to use the system so productively. Seems like there's a whole layer (maybe more than one layer) of his system that we don't know enough about. It seems like we might need to innovate something here. > I am unsure, though, whether to allow more than one link per line.

One of the types of links I'm very interested in is what I've called 'pointers', which is a poor term for what I mean. In addition to links to related zettels the notion of questions or germs of ideas for further thought is, I think, exceedingly creativity inducing. The example in the format we saw I-forget-where appealed to me. The ideas/questions for further work followed after the body text (because the ideas were stimulated by the content of the text) and they would automatically create new zettels, which in turn could be indexed somehow so that, in a spare moment we can be stimulated by 'ideas to pursue'. The term 'pointers' came to mind meaning 'this points to another path to be investigated', but I'm sure there's a better term. In other uses of the system (besides notes), there could be other uses for such links; further work needing done on this part of a project, memo to self regarding a birthday, a book I'm interested in... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
