## 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. Maps to the Interoperable property in the [[FAIR principles]].
## 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.
