ADAPTIVE HIERARCHICAL TAGGING PROTOCOL

CORE PHILOSOPHY

Tagging is reasoning, not labeling.

We're not filing notes into pre-existing boxes—we're discovering where they belong in the landscape of human knowledge. Every tag assignment is:

• Contextual: Depends on the note's purpose and surrounding knowledge
• Debatable: Multiple valid perspectives may exist
• Evolving: Can change as understanding deepens

"The map is not the territory, but a well-reasoned map helps navigate the territory."

THE GOLDEN RULE: MACRO TO MICRO (Flexible Framework)
