A living library of interconnected ideas.

concept cluster

Interconnected Knowledge

Every document exists in relation to others. Ideas form webs, not hierarchies. In Xanadu's vision, no thought stands alone -- each is a node in an ever-expanding network of meaning.

exploration path

Fluid Navigation

Move through ideas as threads, not pages. Follow connections between concepts, trace lineage of thoughts, and discover relationships that rigid structures hide.

temporal record

Document Lineage

Every revision lives forever. Track how ideas evolve, branch, and merge over time. The history of thought is as important as its current state.

parallel texts

Parallel Documents

View multiple versions and perspectives side by side. Xanadu envisioned a world where every quotation links back to its source, where plagiarism is impossible because origins are always visible.

transclusion

Transclusion

Content included by reference, not by copy. The same passage can appear in many documents while maintaining a single source of truth.

version graph

Version Control

Every edit is preserved. Documents evolve through branches and merges, creating a rich graph of intellectual history.

comparison view

Side-by-Side

Compare any two documents in parallel, with shared passages highlighted and connections drawn between corresponding sections.
