expand your mind

the one dimensional chat writing tool is not built to pursue tangents

your conscious stream of thought is one dimensional

you are still able to follow tangents by switching to the new topic, and even take another tangent as many as you remember to return up the stack or weave as [[donald trump weave]] would say

it is difficult to do this in one dimensional tools because conversation threads and their contents, stories, ideation, information sharing must be mixed together with other topics when you go on a tangent, when you return to thinking about the previous topic the content is no longer there

this means that if you want to really explore some idea but have a tangent you hesitate to start because you know it will break up the context on the thing you really wanted to talk about and so you dont risk it

but this prevents you from exploring your mind space and potentially having a local maximum break through

the inhospitable to tangent ux literally limits your thought

you self censor bc you fear losing valuable context

you entire chat self censors because they are afraid to switch contexts

think of the missed connections, the missed exploration together

this is why treechat is called tree chat, it is the ability to branch off on a tangent freeing you and your conversation partners' mind
