Note Relationships
Note relationships = five link types I put in the body - extends, contradicts, implements, alternative, index - so the graph shows how ideas push and pull.
| Type | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| extends | What does this build on? | Signal vs Noise extends Capture |
| contradicts | What tradeoff does this push against? | Slow Productivity contradicts The 12 Week Year |
| implements | What makes this real? | Weekly Review Checklists implements Periodic Knowledge Review |
| alternative | What else could do this job? | Mobile Capture Workflows alternative to Analog Capture Tools |
| index | What gathers many notes? | Maps of Content indexes the garden |
I give every atomic note extends and contradicts in the body - one sentence, wikilinked. “Pairs with” in older notes means informal extends. Pipeline order (capture → distill → express) is prose, not a sixth type.
Extends Associative Linking. Contradicts PARA Method.
