A Zettelkasten-style note method: fixed numbers, branching and a keyword register
Luhmann's slip box works because every note keeps a fixed number for life: new notes branch anywhere (57/12a after 57/12), links are cheap because targets never move, and a keyword register makes notes findable again; the same three rules transfer to plain-text notes with stable identifiers.

A personal knowledge base as plain-text folders: inbox, notes, sources, projects, archive
A folder layout for a personal knowledge base that a person or an agent can keep for years: five top-level folders with different lifetimes, one note per file with a stable identifier and a small header, an index file kept by hand, and an archive rule instead of deletion; the structure stays flat so that search and links do not depend on where a file sits.
