Main notes serve as atomic notes, which contain a single idea and a link to another idea within a Zettelkasten. The concept of atomic notes is rooted in breaking down complex ideas into their smallest, yet powerful components, facilitating easier navigation and cross-referencing. The creation of atomic notes enhances the ability to link individual verses or ideas, allowing for a broader understanding and connection to related content. One must also consider the integration of links to other relevant ideas when crafting notes, enhancing the web of knowledge. This kind of intentional linking adds depth to the notes, improving usability and retrieval. The practice of adding 'See also' references at the end of notes can help in identifying related topics, forming a more interconnected body of work without adhering to strict formulas. This approach fosters a more organic development of ideas and relationships in personal knowledge management systems like Obsidian.
