A field note should preserve the difference between portable and complete.
Portable is good.
Complete is different.
A note should be able to travel.
It should carry enough context to be fair.
It should not pretend to carry everything.
That difference matters.
It keeps the note light.
It keeps the thought honest.
It leaves room for the larger conversation.
