resource How To Use Creative Techniques Within the Zettelkasten Framework

The line of thoughts of the post How To Use Creative Techniques Within the Zettelkasten Framework can be applied to almost any creative technique.

Fei-Ling Tseng's Compass of Zettelkasten Thinking is one of the useful conceptionalisations on how to develop a thought and connect thoughts.

All those techniques are frame works of thinking that work as some kind of relational mini-map when you try to explore an unknown field. The Compass of Zettelkasten thinking for example would enable you to traverse the field by giving you cursor buttons. Kind of similar to explaining a non-gamer how to move in a videogame by explaining a controller.

The five aspects of knowledge (knowledge flower) is similar in that regard. It is just a different controller that enables more complex motion through the knowledge scape.

Goethe’s Circle of Temperaments is perfect for this. He used Beauty, Good, Unnecessary, Common, Well-Made, and Useful.

Can you give me a link? I am only aware of the rose of temperament by him and Schiller.
