When typing, I’ll make a connection on the page to another article in infinite digressions. Normally it will be about once or twice a heading. It’ll be a proper noun, or related subject.
My autocomplete will prompt me, often making me recall past segments – like spaced repeition.
But I recently encountered a sentence that was so interwoven that every other word was linked. Sometimes I’ll have multiple choices for which element to link.
So I wondered, is this the end state? The increased cadence of available link points. Where I’d have an article for everything, and every word is thoroughly linked to a previous thought.
It just seems like the accrual of links is unbounded, and deletion of links isn’t really considered. I’m going to end up with a Kowloon Walled City infrastructure of text.
