Map relationships between concepts as explicitly as you map…

Map relationships between concepts as explicitly as you map the concepts themselves, because insight emerges from the connections rather than from individual nodes.

Why This Is a Principle

This is a principle derived from Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge by specifying relationships) and Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (chunking treats hierarchical groups as units). It prescribes an action (map relationships explicitly) based on the axiom that relationships carry structural meaning. It's general enough to apply across any knowledge domain but specific enough to be actionable.
