For Thumbnail

Illustrate the following story about [2 hop link

1. page of concrete things → page of abstract concepts → page of another concrete thing

2. abstract concept page → concrete thing page → another abstract concept page

By either of these, the thought jumps

Can move back and forth between concrete and abstract in a mutually complementary manner

These things have simply not been thought about much in what used to be called "linking", have they?

This is what the diagram represents

Create a page for some abstract concept x, and make links to concrete things a, b, c that support it.

Pages a, b, and c do not have to exist

This is forgotten after a while.

Create another abstract concept y page at another time.

Make the concrete things c,d,e that support this a link

3:

Notice that c becomes [blue link

Scrapbox will make a blue link when it connects with 2 hop link even if page c does not exist.

2 hop link column shows x connected via c

It becomes, "Whoa, my past self is writing something relevant."

= Reminds me of things I've forgotten.

relevance

Collecting only abstract concepts that are disconnected from concrete experience is not recalled and is not reusable.

Talk about knowledge that is difficult to apply unless it is connected to concrete experience.

If you take an abstract concept that someone else has and bring it to you, disconnected from its connection to concrete experience, it will not work the same way for you as it does for that person.

Why is the keyword "abstract" in there instead of "simply increase links"?
