Alex, Once again you are responding from the demographic we share, the "odd intellectual" :) ?
Non-linear thinking (and texts - is it best to treat them both as the same > thing?) can be seen "fork" in a garden path. > I think the fact tiddlywiki supports non-linear records and concepts ignores that fact it is also very good at any type of structure such as list/hierarchical, networks etc..., or no structure at all. This is the deficit model of description, the market is not good at "non-linear" so we define tiddlywiki as "non-linear" although it goes far beyond that. I wonder if tiddlywiki's catch phrase attracts more artists (with a tech bent) than techies as a result? > In TiddlyWiki we have "missing links" and "orphans" but we don't have a > way of tracking hierarchies of tags.
