CALL NUMBER: personal_knowledge_management_and_the_second_bra.knowledge_management : deep_knowledge_management(2)
DEFINITION: The practice of systematically capturing, organizing, distilling, and expressing information to build a reusable intellectual asset base.
Invoke this skill to understand knowledge_management down to its primitives. The RELATIVE ROOT below is the least-fixed-point closure of everything it bundles from — the full import cone, grouped by the lib each prim comes from. Projected from a prover-typed KB (MAP/SWI-Prolog consistency gate): every reference below resolves.
THE RELATIVE ROOT (the import cone, by lib)
from deep_knowledge_management
- box_context (d8): The container holding all slip cards plus the index; the physical or digital environment where the network of ideas resides.
- communication_partner (d8): Luhmann's term for treating the slip-box as a dialogue partner; asking the box questions and following links to surface unexpected connections.
from personal_knowledge_management_and_the_second_bra
- capturing (d1): The act of quickly recording any idea, insight, or information before it is lost; the first phase in the CODE framework.
- distilling (d1): Extracting essential insights from source material through progressive summarization; making information denser without losing meaning.
- expressing (d1): Creating tangible output (articles, projects, solutions) from accumulated knowledge; the final phase where learning becomes useful.
- organizing (d1): Structuring captured material into a retrievable system; grouping related content by project, area, resource, or archive (P.A.R.A.).
- fleeting_notes (d2): Quick, rough captures meant to be processed and either promoted to permanent notes or discarded within a day or two.
- literature_notes (d3): Notes that summarize and reflect on source material in your own words; intermediate step before permanent notes.
- permanent_notes (d4): Atomic notes in Zettelkasten that exist independently of their source material; connected to other notes via explicit relationships.
- atomic_notes (d5): Notes containing a single idea in complete, standalone form; the fundamental unit in Zettelkasten systems.
- evergreen_notes (d5): Notes written as atomic, concept-oriented assertions that are meant to evolve over time and connect to other notes in a growing network.
- zettelkasten (d6): A note-taking system using atomic, interconnected notes that forms a web of ideas; developed by sociologist Niklas Luhmann who wrote 70+ books using it.
- progressive_summarization (d6): A layered note-taking technique where you progressively highlight and bold key passages across multiple passes, making notes scannable at different depths.
- luhmann (d7): Niklas Luhmann, German sociologist who built the original Zettelkasten with 90,000 cards and used it to produce 70 books and 400 articles.
- slip_box (d7): Another name for Zettelkasten; emphasizes the slip-box metaphor of individual cards that can be recombined freely.
