NetworkMap

A NetworkMap is a visual representation of a Network: each Note is a dot, each Link a line between dots.

It isn’t a different thing from your Network; it’s the same Network, seen. But seeing it changes what you notice.

What a NetworkMap shows you

A list of notes hides structure; a NetworkMap makes it visible at a glance:

• Hubs: the densely connected dots are your load-bearing ideas.
• Clusters: tight groups reveal the themes you actually return to.
• Orphans: dots with no lines are notes still waiting to be connected.

You don’t read a NetworkMap so much as navigate it. It’s a map in the literal sense: for orientation, not prose.

This very site renders its own NetworkMap: every page a dot, every link a line. Open the NetworkMap to explore it, or notice the small “Connections” NetworkMap at the foot of each docs page, showing just a page and its immediate neighbours.
