That's an important point @TT about the WHY of "Luhmann's Rule," i would say, regarding immutability of the index field. In the world of hard-copy artifacts he was designing, this makes perfect sense... And also on the WWW, still today, where the problem of link-rot is a serious PITA.
BUT in the domain of a standalone TW instance with the Relink plugin -e.g. my own desktop Digital Garden- that rule becomes a serious impediment to the kind of refactoring that is wanted. OTOH: In case of a public TW instance, where you want to encourage content sharing & reuse via permalinks, this is where one might do well to apply Luhmann's Rule. Still: i find it hard to forbear from changing names to reflect changes in my thinking and/or popular usage. A constant struggle! /walt On Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 9:36:12 AM UTC+1 TiddlyTweeter wrote: > Ciao Si, > > FOOTNOTE ON ZETTELKASTEN > > Luhmann's Zettelkasten were, of course, only on paper.
