Definition
The exponential growth of understanding and insight that occurs when newly acquired knowledge is systematically integrated with, and builds upon, existing interconnected knowledge, rather than being stored in isolation.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
This is a desired outcome of the memex system, addressing a significant limitation of traditional tools that fail to allow knowledge to naturally ‘compound’ and generate new value.
