One estate, three bodies. Obsidian, TiddlyWiki and Federated Wiki each hold writing in a different posture. This cluster describes how the same page moves between all three with the same gesture as forking a page between wiki sites.
- The Commons — the federated wiki, where writing is published, forked and found. - The Thinking Lab — the Obsidian vault, where writing is drafted and thought through. - Bottled Guide — the TiddlyWiki, a whole wiki sealed in one file you can hand over.
Hard borders with good crossings beat one mega-tool. Each body keeps its own strengths. No border runs on a timer, and nothing crosses without a record.
The crossings are made by Babel Fish. The rules of crossing are set out in Fork Across Borders.
The estate is tended by a patient machine gardener. The human curates and directs. The agent does the bookkeeping. That pattern is the Memex Gardener.
