Right. Especially if you can't read German. But some of the "concepts" the Zettelkasten community use in discussion are very, very good. This is likely because of the exceptional ability in German to combine words to easily create exact new concepts. The discussions are able to differentiate many variant ways of linking, for instance, accurately & without ambiguity. Zettelkasten is, essentially, a "theory" of connection building with a strong commitment to *emergent meaning*, yet, at the same time a steadfast commitment to each item, on creation, being *UID'd forever, *yet with no limiting hierarchy. The several implementations in software do vary. Personally I find understanding Luhmann's original manual method extremely helpful in dealing with the TW relevant issue of "fragment evolution to new wholes". For instance: https://takingnotenow.blogspot.com/2007/12/luhmanns-zettelkasten.html and https://niklas-luhmann-archiv.de/nachlass/zettelkasten (Google translate will give a good enough translation).
