CALL NUMBER: personal_knowledge_management_and_the_second_bra.capturing : deep_knowledge_management(2) DEFINITION: The act of quickly recording any idea, insight, or information before it is lost; the first phase in the CODE framework.

Invoke this skill to understand capturing 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 (d7): The container holding all slip cards plus the index; the physical or digital environment where the network of ideas resides.
• communication_partner (d7): Luhmann's term for treating the slip-box as a dialogue partner; asking the box questions and following links to surface unexpected connections.

• fleeting_notes (d1): Quick, rough captures meant to be processed and either promoted to permanent notes or discarded within a day or two.
• literature_notes (d2): Notes that summarize and reflect on source material in your own words; intermediate step before permanent notes.
• permanent_notes (d3): Atomic notes in Zettelkasten that exist independently of their source material; connected to other notes via explicit relationships.
• atomic_notes (d4): Notes containing a single idea in complete, standalone form; the fundamental unit in Zettelkasten systems.
• evergreen_notes (d4): Notes written as atomic, concept-oriented assertions that are meant to evolve over time and connect to other notes in a growing network.
• zettelkasten (d5): 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 (d5): A layered note-taking technique where you progressively highlight and bold key passages across multiple passes, making notes scannable at different depths.
• luhmann (d6): 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 (d6): Another name for Zettelkasten; emphasizes the slip-box metaphor of individual cards that can be recombined freely.
• distilling (d6): Extracting essential insights from source material through progressive summarization; making information denser without losing meaning.
