why do u want to be able to self-generate allthings u lurn? bc what matters fr ur ability to generate new insights is the *transformations* btn abstract subspaces. and that means u want to integrate as much of ur world-model into a fractally-coherent small-world network of hippocampal place cells as u can. if u lurn things in isolation, cryptically-related abstract models cud be neurally embedded far apart, which means u hv to uproot/refactor if u wish to flexibly swoosh twixt them.

i suspect one of the primary benefits i've gained fm maintaining a modular densely-connected idea-network (in RemNote specifically), is that the nodes themselves begin to form a place-cell map, and mks it easier fr me to quickly embed new things i lurn in an abstract-space-efficient manner.

i so goshdarn hope smbody mks a rly good memory-palace-like 3D note-taking environment fr VR/AR soon. it'd be so overpowered fr encoding world-model.
