He used manual maintained index-cards of keywords. Just big lists of keywords with reference-numbers which he used a startingpoint to dig into a topic. You can look it up in the Luhmann-Archive, where they scanned his whole papers & boxes and work now on digitizing the text.

That guy was famous because he was maintaining his system decades before personal computers and modern organisation-methods were a thing. By todays standard his system is not so special. It's basically just a web-forum on paper. Seems like there's a whole layer (maybe more than one layer) of his system > that we don't know enough about.

He didn't bother with system and details, but found something that worked for him and invested most of his life on filling it. There is no big secret behind his knowledgebase, it's just stupid manual labor over a long period of time. For most people this does not work, becuase they are busy with optimizing every single detail, building big complex buildings which they can't maintain anymore at some point, instead of just doing the simple things they original aimed for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
