As I’ve been reading about Zettlekasten for part of the evening, it dawns on me that there are some likely overlaps with both my prior work on statistical mechanics and ideas of mnemonics and techniques like the method of loci. I’ll have to think of how to better memorize and specifically tag pieces of information into such a mental Zettlekasten. I wonder what might evolve?

I’ve thought about this too – I started to think of my wiki as a textual memory palace in some way. For helping to path it out/memorize it I thought it would be fun to have kind of text adventure paths through it. I kind of did that (along with a little sketch) on the homepage. (mentioned briefly in here under the Personal textbooks? section https://commonplace.doubleloop.net/wikis)
I also wondered if wikis then became collaborative in some way, they could become collaborative memory palaces. https://commonplace.doubleloop.net/20200308210932-collaborative_memory_palaces
All quite half-baked ideas at the moment but something I really like the idea of.
