I just finished inspectional reading. My finding what the book is about in one sentence:
"Die Zettelkastenmethode" is a book by Sacha Fast about building and using a personal tool to transform information and ideas into knowledge through a value-added process.
And here is my first version of a Literature Map with key terms:

When a visual is finished, it is hard to understand how it was created. Here's my six steps process:
6 Steps of "Non-linear Reading"
1. Find what the book is about in one sentence.
2. Find key terms and propositions from book.
3. Create concept map from key terms and propositions.
4. Connect key terms and notes from your Zettelkasten as "Golden Links".
5. Add date created to compare ideas from non-linear thinking on a timeline.
6. Decide which part of the book to read next.
Is it a fast or a slow process?
1 h for reading book (1, 2) + 1 h for creating literature map (3, 4, 5, 6) = 2 h in total
Compared with my "linear reading":
1 min per page x 261 pages per book = 4:30 h in total
Time well spent. :-)
Best books are the most readable. Thanks to @Sascha.

No piece of information is superior to any other. Power lies in having them all on file and then finding the connections. There are always connections; you have only to want to find them. —Umberto Eco
Thank you for your quote. It helped me to see „beauty“ as a „bridge“ term between various disciplines like physics, note-taking, architecture, art and many more. Using „beauty“ as a hub easily leads to building bridge notes between these separated areas of knowledge.

@Edmund 👍
Take my dirty American money!
I will rub my dirty body with it, darling. (And then buy my daughter some annoying "mind stimulating" toy)

Is it the time to start learning German?
My first links between key terms from @Sascha 's book and related notes in my Zettelkasten:

Do you read German or did the book get published in English and I just missed it?
@Edmund Are you going to continue your analytical reading and put the terms into propositions and the propositions into arguments?
@Nido : That’s my idea. 🙂

I read it in German, but my Zettelkasten is in English.

So, what do you think?

I've switched to linear reading. Otherwise I might miss some of the valuable key propositions. Here is one from page 102:
It enables a "golden link" to my Zettelkasten to the entry point "Concepts of beauty". Today I found a beautiful quote that underlines this concept:

@Edmund I'm intrigued by your note about beauty with respect to information, about which I've got a small tranche of notes forming. You might appreciate this quote from Arthur Eddington in 1927: https://boffosocko.com/2013/09/26/entropy-beauty-melody/
