Ciao Soren ... > ... I love index cards, and they're very flexible, but they're *objects*; > they don't do anything themselves. >
Right. FYI, just in the actions of a CREATOR, cards can do amazing things! The Zettelkasten <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten>thing emerged as a celebration of the *(physical-card-index)* mind of sociologist Niklas Luhmann <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklas_Luhmann#Note-taking_system_(Zettelkasten)>. Point being: it was A celebration of that vast card-isation he brilliantly made for HIS purposes. > 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.

My take on all this is that the "*Tiddler Architecture" o*f TW is totally AGNOSTIC on what an end-user does in THEIR way of thinking or "organizing". TBH, that "agnosticism" is one of its most useful characteristics. There is no whip-boy telling anyone what THEIR data should look like or that it should be a regular database.
