] represented a variable) - people compose, compress, and expand information - people reuse information / interpretations - people prioritize information / interpretations - people connect information / interpretations - Progression through stages - People like to move ideas through stages. From seedlings to evergreen notes, from premise to draft, from draft to deliverable. When an idea has moved through all of those stages, they end up with [[Multiplicity]], where they have referred to similar concepts in many different ways. While they don’t want to delete it all, they do want the canonical, published version to be what they refer to. [[C- People want to maintain multiple copies or iterations of the same information while recognizing contextual canon]]. - Some people will write and rewrite their ideas multiple times in order to crystallize their thoughts. There is a big opportunity in supporting the process of rewriting ideas and identifying the themes that are consistent across iterations. - Prioritization - When people have many tasks or idea premises, they need to be able to sift through all of them and prioritize/signal which are the most important. One way to do that is by marking a note as worthy of progressing to the next stage. [[Knovigator]] does it instead by enabling quadratic voting on individual notes.

Any work that we hook into for them to author a discourse graph should line up with workflows that help them. People like putting ideas into clusters. We want to hook into in progress work. People take courses, download exercise apps, etc. because they want to change but are struggling to do it on their own.
