Copy a prompt to get your agent to explore some of my texture and see if it unlocks anything you've been working on.
A field note can stay small.
This is important for me.
The instinct is to add all the context.
To explain every caveat.
To protect the thought from being misunderstood.
But that turns every note into a burden.
A field note does not need to do that.
It can hold one thought.
One distinction.
One question.
One connection.
The graph can carry the rest.
Related notes.
Source trails.
Metadata.
Agent-readable context.
The note can stay small because the system around it is doing its job.

Every page here carries a machine-readable layer underneath: the sources, dates, confidence levels, and connections behind what you just read. I call it undertext. If you read with an agent, give it this page's undertext:
