Welcome to [[jayu|my]] digital [[Zettelkasten]], nicknamed [[This Zettelkasten]]. Its main purpose is to assist me with my research objective—[[Reconstruction of psychoanalysis|evaluating and improving psychoanalysis' scientificity and efficacy]]. Nonetheless, other related and unrelated subjects may also appear here.

An archetypical, analog Zettelkasten (there are other variations with slight or significative differences) is a collection of physical index cards in which one registers some kind of content. These cards usually are linked to each other by some sort of metadata: tags, direct references to other cards, Folgezettel, etc. In a sense, Zettelkästen are some of the many ancestors of [[Hypertext|hypertext]], and have been used since their inception by many different kinds of people, from scientists and philosophers to writers and artists.

In this Zettelkasten, every individual page is a [[Index card|card]], with a title and a numerical ID. Cards are connected to each other either through [[Wikilink|wikilinks]] naturally inserted into the card's body, or through being referenced in a [[Handbook—Trail|Trail]]—a sequence of related cards. [[Handbook—Tags|Tags]] help organizing cards into broader categories and classes, and convey certain info about them (e.g. the #incomplete tag marks a card whose content I intend to develop more in the future).

Cards have classes, indicated by tags. This one is a [[Handbook—Handbooks|Handbook]]—a card whose content serves to explain how this Zettelkasten works.
