"Leonardo's genius epitomized the [[Renaissance [[humanist]] ideal]]..."

They may not be what you think ... And let's say I added one pair of square brackets and you added the other ... How could another person tell who marked up what?

Implication: to reduce the complexity and breakability of your logic, produce better-defined data-structures which reduce the need for complex and error-prone operations.

"Data-structure" here does not simply mean a map of typed values - it implies 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯.

Effortless multilingual aliasing in Codex.

See how the English word "paper" is linked to the German word "Beitrag" & how the linked refs show all matches, in English or German.

Note also how hovering over "paper" on the right highlights all aliases in the main text. Note also that there isn't a single bracket or piece of Markdown, yet the text is formatted & styled like an article.

This is because all markup is stored 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 the text in Codex: because what's important is the 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.

And it should stay pure.

Crazy Codex Idea #127:

Graph-as-infrastructure
versus
Graph-as-diagram (diagraph?) What if part of the problem is that we conflate graph structure (a -[r]-> b) with the visualisation of the graph? Sometimes these are do match but other times we need distance from the structure in order to model diagrammatically. We could mix graph + SVG shapes + text.

Seeing is greater than knowledge.

Seeing is the faculty of knowing, knowing in action, the ability to perceive relation, it precedes and guides action.

Artists have "an eye". Musicians have "an ear".

We see before we know. We see TO know.

But how can we see knowledge? We can see without tools, but the right tools can help us see better.

What is the essence of sight? Spatial relation.

If you can't relate text in space it becomes much harder to see connections ... to make adjustments ... to share your insight.

Seeing is believing.

An exploration of some of the things you can do with standoff markup in Codex that you can't do in certain ... other systems.

👇 - no [[brackets]] ((of)) {{any}} kind needed!

- no need to pick one name for your concept: just highlight the text to create/link to it

- no need to rename embeds later

- no need to define aliases

- find a concept not just by name but by *any term ever used to refer to it*

Wouldn't it be interesting to see a knowledge graph version of Da Vinci's notebooks where ideas, trains of thought, work sketches, etc., can be traced through his entire corpus?

E.g., show on a timeline all drawing and writing on the Sforza monument + related material.

This would be a great Codex Commons project...

Crazy Codex Idea #114:

A panel in two parts where you can see events both on a map and in a timeline. They are synched.

You can add event streams based on people, places, actions, etc.

You can filter streams by date ranges, geographical areas, entities, etc. Of course, the content of this panel can be piped (UNIX-style) to any other panel.

In fact, this will be one of the primitives of the system.
