A hierarchical note-taking format where ideas are organized using bullet-point indentation to show parent-child relationships among concepts. Each indent level signals a deeper or subordinate claim, and the structure itself encodes logical flow without requiring explicit connectors or numbering systems. Persistence is achieved through plain-text encoding and editor-agnostic rendering — the meaning lives in the indent counts, not in any software-specific formatting layer. [formal: spiral notae | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.00]
