Plate I · a chart of your own thinking
Map your thinking like a night sky.
Every note becomes a point of light. Connect two and Index draws the line between them — until your thinking looks the way it always does at 2 a.m.: a sky full of constellations only you can read.

Plate II · method
Every note, a fixed point.
Write a note and Index logs it like a star: a designation, a date discovered, a position relative to everything else you’ve written. Reference one note from another and the two are joined by a line — permanent, visible, and easy to trace back at 3am when you can’t remember where a thought came from. IDX-002, above, has the most lines running to it. That’s not an accident — it’s the note everything else keeps pointing back toward.
Plate III · instruments
Take a bearing on anything you’ve written.
Search reads every star in the sky at once — titles, bodies, even notes you connected to years ago. Type what you half-remember and Index plots a course straight to it.
