Compounding Knowledge
Knowledge compounds like interest. A small insight today, connected to what you already know, grows into something larger. The graph of understanding is exponential, not linear.
Network Effects of Understanding
Each new piece of knowledge is more valuable if it can connect to existing knowledge. Go deep enough that knowledge starts compounding before you widen the surface area.
The Garden as Compound Interest
A well-structured-note-system externalises this compounding. Every time you revisit and link an old note, you're paying yourself interest.
Good tooling matters here too β friction in capture or retrieval disrupts the compounding loop.
