General Wikilink Principles

Good wikilinks:

Enhance understanding
Create discovery paths
Feel natural in context
Add value to reader

Bad wikilinks:

Every mention of a word
Forced connections
Link for link's sake
Interrupt reading flow

Best practice:

First mention in a section gets the link
Use pipe syntax for natural reading: [file|display tex](file|display-tex)t]]
Link to deepen, not just connect
"See also" sections at end for related threads

Quick-Add Checklist

personal-apis.md → quantified-self link (line 24)
hidden-networks-of-warmth.md → preparation link (line 23)
hidden-networks-of-warmth.md → minimalism link (line 33, 37, 41)
project-notes/scrapbook.md → interfaces link (line 21, 29)
Add "Related Threads" to all robot posts
Add cross-links between robot posts
meta-patterns links to all 5 thread posts

After Adding Links

Run Obsidian's graph view to see the connections emerge. The thread-weaving posts should become hub nodes connecting multiple projects and themes.

The goal: Anyone reading one post can discover the broader patterns through natural exploration.
