Core Concepts

Mozen is opinionated. Understanding these four concepts will make everything else click.

Atomic notes

Each note holds exactly one idea. Small, self-contained notes are easier to link, reuse, and recombine than long documents. When a note grows two ideas, split it.

Bidirectional links

A link is a two-way street. When note A links to note B, B knows about A. This is what turns a pile of notes into a network you can navigate in either direction.

Emergent structure

There are no mandatory folders. Instead, structure emerges from how you link. Clusters form naturally around topics you think about often — and the knowledge graph makes those clusters visible.

One object, many views

A note isn't tied to a single layout. The same underlying content can be seen as a document, a card on a whiteboard, a node in the graph, or an exported PDF. Edit once, view everywhere.
