}Many useful Minoteaur pages (maths notes, primarily) were (are) just bullet-pointed lists. They are quick to write but have some readability and organization problems. Splitting pages as I do now looks nicer, but requires me to make decisions about when to split things up and how. Hypothetical Minoteaur 9 would represent all notes as a very large tree of bullet points (parts could of course be expanded or contracted as needed). There would be no pages. However, it would be possible to assign metadata or something to bullet points. There would be no explicit links, but highlighting phrases would allow you to jump to what the system thinks is the best thing to show you (based on context (LLM or something) and position in document), or possibly just scroll through all other instances. }

Also note: concept - probably requires more detailed edits.
