Vault map
The desk's research memory, drawn as one shape. Every note in the work and research vaults is a point, placed by its links rather than its folder, so related reading gathers into clusters on its own.
20,759 notes, placed by their links
How to read it
Each dot is a note. Notes that link to each other sit close together, so a dense patch is a subject read deeply and a thin stream is where one subject leads into another. Lime dots are bridge notes, the 4% that join the most clusters of their own group. Titles and cluster names are left out on purpose: this is the shape, not the contents.

- A note in the research vaults

Exported on 2026-11-06 from Vault Map, a private Mac app that reads the desk's Obsidian vaults from disk and lays them out in 3D from their links; flattened here onto the layout's two widest directions. Only the work and research vaults are shown. Personal and team-shared vaults are left out, and no titles leave the Mac.
Why it matters
An audit is only as good as what the desk can find again. Mapping its own notes shows where the reading runs deep, where it's thin, and which notes hold separate subjects together. It's the same structural read the desk runs on a project's public surfaces, turned on itself first.
