Good

we learned that [[memory graphs beat giant memory files]]
when we [[benchmark retrieval like search infrastructure]]
this matters because [[atomic notes compound better than long documents]]

Why This Works

• The link text IS the context — no extra explanation needed
• Reading a note's links tells you the story of how ideas connect
• The graph becomes navigable without a map
• Claude can follow link text to understand relationships without loading every linked note
