The value of an idea is determined by its relationship to others

Not according to the idea in isolation.

Since the value of an idea is determined by its relationship to others—not according to the idea in isolation—there's no reason to collaborate on making individual main notes in an effort to make them "perfect" or "fully formed," get consensus, or make sure each idea is properly aligned with the overall project. As Luhmann states in his own notes, let the zettelkasten function as a "septic tank."3 Allow the relationships between ideas to determine their value.
