The manner in which associations are built within digital notetaking apps look nice and pretty. They create nifty-looking graphs and visualizations. However, such tools are not structured in a way to optimize Learning.
Antinets, on the other hand, are built entirely around Association. You cannot install a note in the Antinet without associating it with the neighboring notes.
As a result a chain-reaction takes place in the system. All notes are essentially chain-linked to every other note in the system. This is the concept of **Associative Chaining**, which I (Scheper) detail later in this book.
