Rhizome

Table of Contents:

1. [[Category conflict]]; Hierarchical file systems have these issues because they do not structurally reflect the rhizomatic nature of our ontological reality; These issues are a manifestation of a broader, more generalizable problem.
   • Rhizome vs. Arborescence; tree structures
   • Decentralization vs. Centralization
2. A file system solution that more accurately reflects our ontological reality would not run into the aforementioned issues
   • Here’s how that’s possible:
     • tag-based categorization
       • https://www.nayuki.io/page/designing-better-file-organization-around-tags-not-hierarchies
       • potential computational detriments to using tags over hierarchies?
         • relational databases
       • existing implementations
         • boorus

The principle of atomicity allows for complex concepts to be broken down into simpler, less abstract components, allowing for more permutations (and consequently, denser linkage).
