THE SOURCE IS PART OF THE THOUGHT.
A note becomes more useful when it remembers what provoked it, where the claim came from, and how our interpretation changed over time.
A FRAGMENT CAN FEEL COMPLETE UNTIL WE TRY TO USE IT.
We copy a sentence because it matters in the moment. Later, without the surrounding argument or our reason for saving it, the fragment becomes ambiguous. Context is not a decorative citation added at the end; it is part of the thought's working structure.
START WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN READING AND RESPONSE.
Glyphic is designed so a highlight can remain attached to its source while becoming a note, a question, or a connection. The product should help us return to the evidence instead of merely accumulating excerpts.
- Keep the original link
- Record your interpretation separately
- Connect related and conflicting material
PUBLIC IDEAS ARE STRONGER WHEN THEIR PATH IS VISIBLE.
When we choose to publish, showing the supporting trail gives readers something concrete to evaluate. They can disagree with the source, the interpretation, or the connection—and say which one.
