Things I Don't Like About Standard Formats #27

[@TiddlyTweeter]

In one way it is nice that having sweated the hot-coals of layout a note to one's-self arrives in the predicted (architected) position.

However is this optimal for the brain? Its a bit of a bit too easy.

I like that references to Note 5 could occur anywhere. To mildly challenge me.

In short, computers seem rather bad at embracing discordant organization that humans get on with fine.

Just thoughts

Josiah,

I do not understand your example, perhaps you could restate with a little less brevity?

However I find "computers seem rather bad at embracing discordant organization that humans get on with fine", when it comes to making written notes on paper, lines and arrows scribble and scratched often are superior to any other way of dumping models formed in the brain on to a record.

Yes, to me TiddlyWiki has come closer than any other tool to do this for me, but it still has a way to go.

Ciao Tony

I was thinking of a layout  I made where I got what I wanted ... basically a line of Links at the top to other tiddlers. It "worked" well. Except it didn't in practice. The base issue is that what I wanted is not exactly what I got. Likely because what I want I can't exactly define and most likely logically contradicts itself. That's less an issue off computer. Paper just accepts what electronics doesn't.

I agree that TW has flex close to the brain in material practice.

FYI, recently I went back to hand-written notebooks for some innovative work (in film planning) as I find it more "open" for that kinda thing.

IMO we are STILL in the era of needing both computer AND hand-work to achieve fullest work.

Nice you kinda get what I'm getting at!
