Ordered series are built by linking atoms together not by writing one long document.
Parent-child structures let you zoom in and out between detail and abstraction. Every hierarchy is a compression strategy — it hides detail below and exposes summary above, letting you navigate complexity by choosing your altitude.
Any concept can contain sub-concepts and belong to a super-concept. Nesting is not a feature of special data structures -- it is a universal property of how meaning organizes itself at every scale.
Going deep in one branch versus wide across many branches are different strategies with different costs — and the right choice depends on whether you need resolution or coverage.
Child items often inherit properties from their parent — be aware of what propagates.
Lopsided hierarchies with very deep branches and very shallow ones indicate structural problems.
Individual atoms of knowledge become powerful when linked into a navigable structure.
Concepts are nodes and relationships are edges — together they form a graph.
