This is the zettelgarten of Spencer Saar Cavanaugh, an experimental knowledge graph blending the zettelkasten method with the spirit of digital gardening. The primary purpose of this zettelgarten is cultivate knowledge in a public and auditable manner, and to provide an intellectual substrate for published discourse (see Writing).

Content

Reading Notes

Canvassing

Canvas Foreword

The following content is a discursive “canvassing” exercise intended to: process ideas and prime them for more formal publication; foreground thought processes in the spirit of auto-discourse (see A Primer on Auto-Discourse); garner feedback from peers; establish conceptual provenance for ideonomic archiving purposes.

Psychocartography Notes

The following notes were taken by hand in 2019 as an inquiry into how ideas and values can be mapped. For more information about the nature of this inquiry, see A Rhapsody on Neurodiversity. In 2024, they were scanned and uploaded to Arweave, and PDF links are listed below.

Configuration

File Naming

Reference Note Format

“r-AuthorInitials-TitleInitials-1” or “r-JK-GT-1”

For example, the first note made primarily in reference to John Maynard Keynes’ General Theory would be r-JK-GT-1, the second would be r-JK-GT-2, etc. See this Reddit post for more information.

This method permits the interstitial inclusion of recursive reference notes, along the lines of folgezettel. For example, note r-JK-GT-1a could be made in reference to r-JK-GT-1, perhaps as a correction or an elaboration.

File Storage

Arweave is the primary storage solution for this zettelkasten. Arweave hashes function as the primary URIs for inline images, videos, and other media.

For example, the following markdown code renders the subsequent image in the browser:

![The Baths of Caracalla](https://arweave.net/MALjimE4g6_dO_DOWwbA_LOPOCNQkjI2v2aL3oYuG3w)

The Baths of Caracalla

Arweave hashes are also used as URIs in frontmatter for page metadata. For example, page banners are expressed as:

bannerURI: https://arweave.net/1OCpB8IN7kO8LiEOoutCLSSyGbHLHfhoJSQoloN_Y5g

Frontmatter

Below is the full annotated frontmatter for the pages on this site. Not all pages will use all of the fields, and many of the fields are not required. Additionally, some of the fields are specific to this particular Quartz site(such as the ‘quartzShowGraph’ field). Some field are still in development.

Arweave is the preferred permanent storage solution for this site’s static assets, with content accessible via Arweave-based URIs.
