Thanks for the video with Scott Scheper; it's interesting to see what he's done with a physical card system. But, it seems like a lot of work spent classifying things and marking down numbers. (Besides, what happens if the place burns down or someone dumps all the cards on the floor?) Have you looked at TheBrain application? It would be much easier to enter all the categories you've listed here as "parents" in TB, and then link them to as many notes as you want (including ones in Obsidian), in an easy-to-view graphical interface, with the best search capabilities I know of, next to Google. Check out Jerry Michalski's Brain, starting at his history place: [Jerry - History](https://webbrain.com/brainpage/brain/3D80058C-14D8-5361-0B61-A061F89BAF87/#-2832). It would be interesting for you to do an interview with Jerry, particularly about his OGM - Open Global Mind - project that we discussed in the Obsidian Book Club meeting last Saturday. (Chris can connect you.) p.s. see also [Jerry's Brain](https://www.jerrysbrain.com/) Pat
Thanks, Pat. I'll look at those links. I've been considering The Brain for a while -- maybe this will push me over the edge. I suspect in the long run, my system will be a hybrid of physical and virtual elements.
