Synthesis definition
It's hard to synthesize without shared language and shared context
multilevel content
- Organizing Knowledge with Multi-level content, also
- not a brain dump
- note titles as APIs
Finding or creating shared context
- Connect people who share context
- Design mechanisms to quickly bring people up to speed
  - interactive intent modeling
  - filters, as in [[roam research]]
  - lowering the barrier to add structure to notes
    - people often defer structure to later
    - even autosuggest is context switching
    - formality considered harmful
Helping people learn related terms to their search as way to understand it
- Interactive intent modeling for exploratory search
Helping people add structure post-hoc
- Adding structure is laborious
  - Autocomplete as an interruption
- Danger of too much structure as entropy
- Structure is situational
Incremental formalization
- Automatic queries based on current context
  - Many default queries in twemex, threadhelper, RoamGames?
- Custom queries (define my own query terms)
  - with composition
Other notes
- Some of this sounds like "tummling", which was a term that could used in early social media days but less used today?

  - Tummling
- Understanding as Compression also

Multiplayer TFT Tools

Yes, this is a list of tools! There may be other lists, link them in.

Large corporate adoption.

Marginal as a TFT, it really is a forum, but it has wiki capabilities and has built in backlinks (but not [[wikilinks]] unless you add a plugin)

Markdown / Git based (also supports org mode and writing from Twitter, Mastodon sources)
