# Emergence (MOC) Created On: 06-27-2023 08:13 am Up:: [[My Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) (MOC)]] Tags:: #map/nest --- >[!abstract] Salient Summary > ## Introduction Emergence is the concept of new ideas born through a "bottoms-up" manner from other existing notes/ideas. These new ideas propagate more broadly into the [[Digital garden (DG)]] to reproduce in the same manner, creating an ecosystem of interconnected and constantly producing ideas of new ideas. In terms of the direction of thinking, emergence is a "bottoms-up" way to generate ideas instead of "top-down". Through [[Zettelkasten]] implementation, new [[Permanent note]]s are produced from other permanent notes - emergence in a "bottoms-up" manner. On the other side, ideas generated from literature and other external sources, even fresh ideas born aside from other notes, are considered "top-down". Emergence matters because it is directly representative of the "linking" nature of our thought and how we can capture that to demonstrate genius: connecting similar thoughts across various spaces of life and disciplines of knowledge. ## Nested MOCs - ## Loose Notes *These should be tossed here and cleaned up later* - [[Emergent writing session]] ## Related -
