How? Well, would having it as a tiddler benefit the context or not? The 
changing variable is the *context*, and the tiddlers be-or-not is a 
consequence. The need for "Milk" to be a tiddler or not can flip back and 
forth. In reality the context isn't even defined by the wiki, but by the 
reader and the moment. Even a common link could often as well be text if it 
is not clicked on. But IMO this is not so much a philosophical question as 
it is a pragmatic one and this is why I ended with:

*It should be effortless to merge and split tiddlers and rearrange 
"subtiddlers" showing within them. - *Imagine, for example, a UI where you 
(ideally in view mode) mark out a text segment and drag it to the river to 
create a tiddler with that text segment, at the same time removing it from 
the original tiddler. Or the reverse, drag'n dropping a tiddler onto a 
another one to have it merged into that spot.

There ain't no "solid defined context" only momentary needs that we vainly 
try to predict.
