Re: How can the structure be built from the bottom up with the Folgezettel?
Since I don't use "keyword" tags (like #Animals), this was just an example. Instead of tags, I collect a list of relevant notes into a zettel, for me this means structure zettel. I do use structure notes in the same manner that you indicate - simply as an entry point into what I like to call a "line of thought". I put… -
Re: How can the structure be built from the bottom up with the Folgezettel?
@Nick, Please read this message again in light of the aboves. If the tags in the example above are represented according to the folgezettel structure, it looks like this: * Note 1 (#Animals) ** Note 1a1 (#Savannah) * Note 2 (#Carrots) * Note 3 (#Sea Creatures) Because of this, I think folgezettel is about nested tags… -
Re: How can the structure be built from the bottom up with the Folgezettel?

I think it's worth using folgezettel in a paper-based Zettelkasten (in the digital world, however, the tags themselves are enough): when you create a new note that you can't classify under other notes because it belongs to a new… -
Re: How can the structure be built from the bottom up with the Folgezettel?
I think I was enlightened and understood exactly what benefit folgezettel originally had: Because Luhmann tagged the branch opener zettel and because folgezettel connects multiple zettels in an easy-to-follow way, that tag not only applies to the branch opener, but also the zettels in its branch. I think @Nick explained… -
Re: How can the structure be built from the bottom up with the Folgezettel?
@Nick, Thank you very much for your detailed answer! I was expecting exactly such an explanation! What is not clear is that if the animals belong to the Note 1... branch, but I summarize them in the Note 3 zettel, then according to Folgezettel, these two notes are not related. * Note 1 (#Animals): dog, cat, bunny * Note…
