Knowledge as a graph

Spaced repetition was the first reason I began to wonder how much of knowledge could be represented as atomic units with connections.

Connections could also be considered atomic units of their own.

A spaced repetition card requires the content to be atomic (restricted to one core idea), and whatever knowledge could be broken down into atomic units could also be “remembered forever” through spaced repetition.

This is certainly an oversimplification, but the questions about spaced repetition aside, in principle it was interesting to know whether knowledge was decomposable like this.

My intuition to favor reducibility leads me to think that this sort of structure would be an accurate representation of knowledge.
