Memoir organization & structure (continued)

Self-Organizing Memoirs
In response to Queries and Browsing, Now & Then automatically organizes and visually presents retrieved information for maximum comprehension.
 
Indexes guide the (self) organization of Query results. All journal entries are periodically re-indexed based on:

• their semantic and contextual relationships,
• your Query content, and
• the system's analogical understanding of your information domain.

The indexes are the mathematical maps of your semantic (language) and domain (knowledge) journal information.

Multi-dimensional word attribute matrices quantify the degree of association, identify co-occurrences, and determine which groups, affiliations and clusters of information are "native" and which are "system assembled".

This enables the identification, discovery, and ranking of relevant but hidden, or forgotten knowledge―particularly information that would be inaccessible using superficial methods such as keyword, proximity, and Boolean-based queries. The attributes of the retrieved information determine how it will be organized and presented―using combinations of: narrative, timelines, graphics, images, charts, parent-child outlines, and association-links.

User Organized Memoirs
In addition to self-organizing memoirs, you can organize and structure your "native" journal information at the time of entry or later―should a structure suggests itself. At any time you can create your own Virtual Views using your selections of narrative, table / grid, hierarchical, parent & child, and linked structures.

Tags, Highlights, and Assignments are useful tools for gathering, grouping, and organizing your information. Of course, assignments to Categories, Topics, and Collections can give structure to disparate information. User-built rules can also automatically classify and organize new (and existing) information.
