Link to the Concept, Not the Coordinate
A Current Best Practice of The LIØNSBERG Book of Conventions: in running prose, link an idea to its concept page — never to a numbered section, chapter file, or other positional address.
Every important concept in the LIØNSBERG Universe deserves one page that holds its center — the generalized, timeless statement of the idea, the way an Ideal holds the center of its Category. That page is the concept's stable address. Around it, the concept is developed in many places: chapters of the LIØNSBERG Wiki Books, sections of the Guides, outside publications, transcripts, and stories. Those are the diverse manifestations around the center.
The practice:
- Prose links point to concept pages. When writing anywhere in the wiki, link
[[Instantiation]], not[[2.0 Program Development]]; link[[Archetype]], not the chapter where archetypes are narrated. - Concept pages carry a Discussed in footer. At the foot of each concept page, list where the concept is developed in depth — book chapters, guide sections, outside works. The concept page is the hub; the discussions are the spokes. A reader lands at the center and descends as deep as they choose.
- Positional addresses appear in exactly three places: book-internal navigation (chapters linking their neighbors and tables of contents), the Discussed in footers, and citations of a specific passage where that passage itself is the point.
Why: a numbered section is a coordinate — an address that depends on position and the voice of one book. Books get revised, chapters renumbered, arguments restructured; every prose link into a coordinate breaks or silently rots when they do. Concept pages are names — they survive every reorganization beneath them. And the hub does something no coordinate can: it accumulates coherence. Each time the concept is discussed somewhere new, one footer line makes the new discussion findable from the center — the Return Flow of The Creative Cascade, applied to knowledge itself.
Like every convention, this is held as a Current Best Practice — a recommendation at the top of the holarchy, refined by the experience of all who write here.
