# 1 idea compass
far writing a note titled note, and want to use the idea compass methodology to find new ideas

to connect it to.

The idea compass is as follows: imagine the four compass directions. each direction helps give definition to the idea in different ways.

NORTH: "Where does X come from?" what are its origin? what group/category does X belong to? what exists an order of magnitude higher? zoom out, what gave birth to X? what causes X

WEST: "What is similar to X?* what other disciplines could X already exist in? what other disciplines could benefit from X? what are other ways to say/do X?

SOUTH: "Where can X lead to?" what does X contribute to? what group/category could X be the headline of? what exists an order of magnitude lower? zoom in. what does X nurture?

EAST: "What competes with X?* what is the opposite of X? what is X missing? its disadvantage? what could supercharge X? Imagine you are linking to other similar wikipedia-style articles that focus on one main idea. These "articles* should be broad and brief in title. What are some possible

X links you could make?

Explain your reason for choice for each link.
