ScieSus Way of Journaling

The Science of Sustainability, Sciesus, is a book on the topic, developed through journaling thought. The development is evolutionairy, i.e., the journal grows as my thinking and research progress.

I aim to develop a limited set of thoughts and their relationships on one page, tied to a clear topic. Related thoughts are spun out in separate pages.

To show what else I write about in related pages, I will use the Graphviz plugin of the Federated Wiki. Read more-about-algorithmic-markup.

These diagrams help to understand how the topics of different pages are related. The nodes in the graphs are clickable and take you to the page about the topic written in the nodes of the graph.

The Graphviz plugin and its algorithmic use in the Federated Wiki software produces concept map-like graph diagrams showing how the thought of the current page is related to topics and thoughts of other pages.

Another way to navigate is to use the backlinks in the grey box at the bottom of each page.

We created this diagram through the Graphviz plugin, opened by clicking the "+" sign at the bottom of the page. And then we paste in this code:

I may seek extended use of the graphviz plugin capabilities of the Federated Wiki software as I learn more about its capabilities.

I also like a more elaborated version of the diagrams, the Preview Next Diagram, where the Graphviz Plugin can be made to show a wider context of connected pages, using this code:

This will generate diagrams like these, putting the page where we read now in the center in a yellow circle, while showing related pages in a graph form.
