Hi Obsidian Community!

I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can’t see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.

How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?

Am I doing LATCH wrong?

Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?

Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?

Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!

    I forgot about filtering in graph view. Thanks a lot for the reminder!

    I don’t get the naming convention of a Zettelkasten. What if you have two notes about radioactive mayonnaise, but with different timestamps?

      At that point, the second one should either have been an edit with more/changed info to the initial note, or it’s adding additional info so you would have two files linked that are like {timestamp}_radioactive_mayonnaise {newer_timestamp}_making_radioactive_mayonnaise, etc. There isn’t really a reason to have two notes with the same name anyway (in the same way that you couldn’t have two files called radioactive_mayonnaise.md in the same directory and wouldn’t want that in your search and linking). It’s okay to go back and add more info to an existing note, or make a new note with a more descriptive name if warranted.
