Maps of Content

A Map of Content (MOC) is a curated index note — a hand-picked entry point into a topic, linking the notes that matter with brief annotations. It replaces rigid folder hierarchies: a note lives in one folder but can appear in many MOCs.

MOCs emerge bottom-up. You don't pre-build them; you create one when a cluster of Atomic Notes has grown dense enough that you want a deliberate way back in. The MOC then becomes the up: target those notes point to.

In this vault the kernel maintains MOCs semi-automatically (/moc), but the curation — which notes are "core," what the open questions are — stays a human judgment call.
