  It is complicated to summarize Zettelkasten in a single word. Rhizome comes to my mind.

  Thinking if I need to choose one of yours.

  @Edmund did you mine your texts for nouns or are the lists created manually?

  My notes with terms are tagged as #type/term. Here’s my script to create a list sorted by month and year:

  const { DateTime } = dv.luxon;
  
  function parseCreated(v) {
    if (!v) return null;
    if (v.isLuxonDateTime) return v;
    const s = String(v).trim();
  
    for (const f of ["yyyy-MM-dd, HH:mm", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", "yyyy-MM-dd"]) {
      const d = DateTime.fromFormat(s, f);
      if (d.isValid) return d;
    }
    return null;
  }
  
  const items = dv.pages("#type/term")
    .where(p => String(p.rating ?? "").includes("⭐"))
    .values
    .map(p => ({ p, d: parseCreated(p.created) }));
  
  const valid = items
    .filter(i => i.d)
    .sort((a, b) => a.p.file.name.localeCompare(b.p.file.name));
  const invalid = items.filter(i => !i.d);
  
  const byYear = dv.array(valid)
    .groupBy(i => i.d.year)
    .sort(g => g.key, "desc");
  
  for (const y of byYear) {
    dv.header(2, y.key);
  
    const byMonth = y.rows
      .groupBy(i => i.d.toFormat("MM"))
      .sort(m => m.key, "desc");
  
    for (const m of byMonth) {
      dv.header(3, `${y.key}-${m.key}`);
      dv.table(
        ["Term", "Definition", "In"],
        m.rows.map(i => [i.p.file.link, i.p.lead, i.p.file.inlinks.length])
      );
    }
  }
  
  if (invalid.length) {
    dv.header(2, "No valid date");
    dv.table(
      ["Term", "created"],
      invalid.map(i => [i.p.file.link, i.p.created ?? "(missing)"])
    );
  }
  

  The resulting structure note shows a filtered list of terms including the number of incoming links:

  @Edmund To have a clear and orderly grasp of matters would be a true blessing.
