The ultimate purpose of creating atomic pieces of knowledge serve as the fundamental building blocks from which we can construct more sophisticated intellectual structures. The real magic happens when we begin assembling these units into larger essays, theories and projects. These atomic notes become the raw materials for higher-order thinking.

Rather than being overwhelmed by complexity, we begin to see patterns and connections that were previously hidden. We can arrange and rearrange these building blocks, testing different combinations and exploring new relationships between ideas.

The permanent notes provide the reliable, well-understood elements that can be combined in countless ways to address new problems or explore emerging questions. The goal isn't simply to accumulate more notes, but to develop a rich repository of intellectual building blocks that enable more analysis and synthesis.

Another positive aspect is that as our collection of permanent notes grows, so does our capacity to tackle larger theoretical challenges. What once seemed too complex becomes a puzzle with identifiable pieces that can be arranged and connected.
