> Do you think assumptions and definitions are something different?

Nah, I'm sure we can go real deep into how they relate to each other. Here I was just stressing their importance together, not their distinctiveness.

> I think 4 comes closes > I guess, I was assuming none of these

Well, you are underestimating the genius of that choice. Now that I thought about it, IMO, the 4 meanings could be seen as equally important but complementary perspectives into engaging with knowledge (I’m sick of the KM acronym). You are warned, I'm gonna steal it!

> the less defined/fuzzy term solved well.

Yeah, that is what I thought. Over (pre)defining things could lead to predefined (=limited) thinking. No always good for exploring wide topics.

> Maintaining proportion

Ok, so it is the proportion of

1- Breadth/depth for Knowledge

2- Gain/Losses for Business

3- flexibility/simplicity for data structure.?

I just added the third one, like, how you could scale Remnote, not just as a business but also as a data-structure? what if, in the case of data-structures, scaling is seen as maintaining proportion between flexibility and simplicity?

I will just say this : I have a general theory on how Outliner+DB combos have an excellent flexibility/simplicity ratio [1] (= top-notch at scaling) , So I hope the new table feature will be implemented deeply into remnote (and not as an afterthought)

Good luck!
