As noted in Gaia's Garden (Gaia’s Garden), antifragile ((Antifragile #citation)) systems should have a broad spectrum of skills (Antifragility has both overlap and broad functions) as well a lot of venn diagram style overlap across each independent node.
To apply that lesson to my zettelkasten (Zettelkasten method of note taking), it's important to have a broad spectrum of topics as well as a lot of overlapping information across those notes.
What this does is make sure that my zettelkasten always has information that is relevant to many situations. If one topic ends up being useless, I have another topic that is. This is why Luhmann followed his interests (Luhmann was never stuck).
But it also makes sure that if one note is deleted, or has information focused on a specific application of that information that isn't easily transferrable, then you can fall back on other notes that say pretty much the same thing - but from another perspective.
So I write a lot of about cooperation between elements in a system. I've approached that from many angles - permaculture (Permaculture as a lens), game design, marketing, economics (Stock Market as Immune System), the gospel (Aligning with Gods Systems). Each of these add to the antifragility of that topic.
