Build conceptual triangles by explicitly connecting nodes
Build conceptual triangles by explicitly connecting nodes that share a common parent, converting sparse star topologies into dense mesh structures that support multiple retrieval paths.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Encoding Depth Determines Retention (encoding depth determines retention—triangles create elaborative processing), Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (hierarchical organization improves robustness), and Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas specify relationships—triangles make relationships explicit). This prescribes HOW to increase connection density, not the foundational truth that density matters.
