Dear TiddlyFans,
Today I was drawing on of those spider type diagrams, with lines as links. I was thinking how to convert my diagrams into TiddlyWikis. I have been here before, and if I remember a suggested solution was to create a tiddler to represent the link. This type of tiddler would be like a "junction box"- tiddler in, tiddler out. I was thinking about the issue from a fresh perspective, years after I first thought about it. The first question, was how would I write this in wiki text, and would I a) adopt a convention or b) have a macro convert a normal link into a link to the "junction box" thus forcing the existence of each link being a tiddler. The "link tiddlers" could be tagged, so there could be different types of link, similar to a concept diagram [1]. The idea comes from a friend who models organisations. To her the links between the boxes are her main focus. I had this in mind when I was thinking about the whole issue. Here is a potential scenario I'd like to model; 1) I go to places and meet people. 2) I regularly go to some places and meet the same people 3) Ideas and conversations develop and these feed into other events. I would like to annotate and track the conversations and create feedback loops between people, places and ideas. People and places are static, but the events are unique (I can't be in two different places at the same time) The links, to become "proper" feedback loops either make something more like it is of less (positive and negative feedback). An example might be a collaboration may become more or less likely after a few other events which have some kind of dependancy on the likelihood of the collaboration happing. Maybe each loop and potential outcomes could be modelled and ranked. I could then make a judgement about the value of possible collaborations, but also have a tool which I could browse, add to and share. Has TiddlyWiki intertingled my sanity again?
