best ways of structuring/organising info to find info you want near-immediately

Hook has a major flaw: there is no way to discover what Hook knows.

I can create a bunch of links between documents or other entities with Hook (what Hook’s maker calls a “mesh”). Then a week later if I have no idea which documents belong to that mesh (a not-uncommon occurrence for anyone who creates or ingests a lot of files over time) then I have no way to query Hook and say: “show me my meshes so I can work with the one I’m looking for”.

I agree with the premise @doablesoftware started this thread with—which I would state as “life is not optimal when the cognitive energy expended to find ‘information’ exceeds the energy to create, capture, or store ‘information’, and there’s no commonly available software that reverses that inequality”.

This, for me, is a major reason too CRIMP, even though CRIMPing makes more problems than it solves.
