I'd say I use hierarchical and atomic notes. I do research and read many articles. I try to break down the ideas/concepts/arguments of the article into atomic notes, but link it as one branch in my overall Zettelkasten network. Of course, later on I connect it with other notes, too. But when I started my goal was that I want to be able to "reconstruct" the lines of evidence/argumentation from the papers later on, but I of course also want to be able to see connections with other ideas from other papers, etc.
Instead of Parent Child Hierarchy I prefer a linking pattern, that I learned later was coined compass of note taking. Basically where does the note come from, where does it lead to, what is similar and what is opposite. Btw this pattern can also be found (loosely) in Luhmann's Zettelkasten, so nothing new really, but giving it a nice catch phrase
I really like that way of thinking. It’s easy to visualise, like following North on your quest but going East or West for side quests. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much.
