A Zettelkasten works best when connections between notes are allowed to grow organically rather than being forced into rigid structures or hierarchies. The process of revisiting notes, searching for relationships, and creating links is what helps generate new insights and deeper understanding. This idea connects well with the metaphor of a garden, where knowledge must be continually maintained, refined, and cultivated over time. Just as a garden requires pruning and care, a note system benefits from regularly reviewing notes and strengthening meaningful connections between ideas. This approach is similar to a Digital Garden, where knowledge is treated as something living and evolving rather than fixed and complete.
