I love index cards, and they're very flexible, but they're *objects*; they don't do anything themselves. You write them, you read them, you tag them, you reorder them, you filter them, you group them, but at the end of the day they're pieces of data in a single format that you, an actor outside the system of cards, are manipulating. Tiddlers aren't like that at all. Tiddlers behave like data, yes, but they also behave like templates and tags and filters and calculators and bulletin boards and highlighters. Tiddlers *do *the sorting and filtering on other tiddlers; the distinction between actor and data is gone, and it's all one system that loops back on itself.
