I love the way you frame what streams are. And I would add that they basically help you be relevant in your meetings as you get access to the relevant context (= notes from past meetings in that stream). I also agree that we may have used a exotic joker with the name "Stream" when there was no need

Btw one thing I’ve been doing is keeping all notes with a person in a single document. It’s just easier to open up joesmith.txt instead of rooting around in the ten files (or searching across them) to find what I’m looking for. This approach is helpful when getting context on past meetings - I can skim notes from the most recent call instead of having to find and open the right file, then move back to the current one. Food for thought…
"Context" or "Topic" might be a better name that conveys the use. "Tag" is technical and I always fail to use tags because I don't think of how I'll be helped by them in the future.
