Links are first-class citizens
Links between ideas are not metadata about knowledge, but are themselves knowledge objects that deserve the same attention, craft, and intentionality as the notes themselves.
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'links as first-class citizens' by specifying that links are not secondary metadata but are knowledge objects in their own right. It clearly states what category links belong to (knowledge objects) and what distinguishes them within that category (they deserve the same attention as notes).
