Book + course notes
Chapter takeaways that compound.
For readers and lifelong learners. Per-chapter notes become a hub the concept index quietly weaves into a personal curriculum.
The pain
- —You finish a book, write 5 takeaways, close the file. Six months later you can't recall whether it was Munger or Buffett who said the thing about inversion.
- —Online courses scatter notes across Notion / Apple Notes / a half-finished Obsidian vault. None of them deploy to your AI.
- —Each chapter feels isolated when you write it. The connections to other books / courses don't surface until you're already trying to remember them.
- —Re-reading is expensive. Without compounding notes, every revisit starts from page 1.
What you do in Memory.Wiki
- 1One doc per chapter (or per lecture)Drop in your raw takeaways. Memory.Wiki doesn't care if it's bullet form or prose. The title is the chapter — that's the H1, that's the address.
- 2Let recurring concepts surface themselvesConcept index auto-runs. After 3-5 chapters, the cross-chapter concepts (inversion, second-order thinking, etc.) get the orange dot in the sidebar Concepts list.
- 3Bundle by theme — not by book"Mental models for risk" might pull 3 chapters from one book + 2 from another + a course module. The Bundle is the curriculum you wish someone had assembled.
- 4Ask the hub what you've learned"What have I read about inversion?" Hub recall returns every chapter that touched the concept with the exact passages. Better than your own memory.
What you get back
- ✓Concept clusters emerge as you read more — the wiki compounds without manual cross-linking.
- ✓Compiling a Brief from a theme-bundle gives you the synthesis you'd otherwise have to write yourself.
- ✓Year-end "what did I learn this year?" answers itself.
- ✓When you write something new, paste the hub URL into Claude — it argues with your past self using your own notes.
Worked example
Example: 40 chapters from 6 books → mental-models hub
Concept index links "inversion" across Charlie Munger / Annie Duke / Shane Parrish. Bundle "Decisions under uncertainty" pulls 8 chapters. Compile to Brief → a 600-word synthesis you didn't have to write.
