Knowledge Galaxy

Knowledge Galaxy

Knowledge now opens as dual lenses: Semantic terrain is the default surface, while the structure galaxy remains available for topology-first browsing and note tracing.

How to use it

  1. Open Knowledge from the sidebar. The default lens is Semantic terrain; the top-left HUD still counts active notes (archived folders are excluded by default).
  2. To include archived notes, turn on Include archived in the HUD — remembered per vault. Active-only and with-archived each keep their own materialized cache.
  3. First open with no cache yet: you get an honest cold-build message (large vaults may take a minute or two). There is no fake progress percentage.
  4. Cache exists but vault content changed: the previous lens view shows immediately while the HUD says “Updating…”. When the background rebuild finishes, the view refreshes and tries to restore where you were.
  5. Use the top pill switch to move between Semantic terrain and Structure galaxy. Terrain answers “what is similar”; galaxy answers “what links to what.”
  6. In the structure lens, hovering a node lazily loads and lights the one-hop neighborhood; leaving clears it so the overview never pays the cost of every edge at once.
  7. In the semantic lens, peaks stay readable with soft glow markers. Hold /Ctrl and click a terrain spore to jump back into the structure galaxy focused on the same note.

The current screenshot still shows the older single-lens galaxy view. Keep it until the dual-lens capture set is reshot.
