1. 📥 Collect Concepts

   • One note per point
   • Write your own definitions
   • Add related concepts and notes

2. 🔗 Add Relations

   • Whenever you notice a link → create a relation note
   • Ask: “How are they related?” (causal, analogy, contrast, etc.)

3. 🌐 Form Surfaces

   • Cluster related concepts into domains (Physics, Epistemology, Machine Learning)
   • Add structure and summaries to domain notes

4. 🧭 Reflect Across Domains

   • Use the Maps/ folder to notice patterns across disciplines
   • Build higher-level reflections

5. 🧠 Optional: Visual Tools

   • Use tools like Obsidian, Zettlr, or Freeplane to visualize maps from your markdown notes.
