> "Can it link to adjacent knowledge?" ^connectivity ## Resolution > The property of a knowledge artefact being able to link to, and be linked from, adjacent knowledge. ^definition A knowledge artefact in isolation forces every reader to know its relationships out of band. Connectivity lets the artefact participate in a graph of meaning - linking outward to what it depends on, and being linked inward by what depends on it. Tools without first-class linking score poorly; tools where every artefact has explicit named edges score high. This is linking *within* a body of knowledge; exchange *across* domain boundaries is its sibling, interoperability. ## In practice > A note on Reflexivity opens: "Reflexivity is a property of [[Binary relation|binary relations]] where every element relates to itself." A wikilink resolves at read time; the related concept is one click away. The reader does not have to remember what binary relations are - they can follow the edge. ## Discovery questions Customer-facing prompts that surface this attribute being missing, grouped by the pain each probes. ### From [[Feeling lost in own work]] (P) ![[Feeling lost in own work#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[My notes scattered across apps]] (P) ![[My notes scattered across apps#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Org knowledge scattered across stores]] (C) ![[Org knowledge scattered across stores#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Cross-team coordination missing]] (C) ![[Cross-team coordination missing#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Each note an island]] (P) ![[Each note an island#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Cannot trace my ideas across years]] (P) ![[Cannot trace my ideas across years#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Reinventing things I have done before]] (P) ![[Reinventing things I have done before#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Teams reinvent what others built]] (C) ![[Teams reinvent what others built#^discovery-questions]] ### From [[Onboarding takes too long]] (C) ![[Onboarding takes too long#^discovery-questions]]
