# **Bidirectional Linking**
A feature that allows notes to reference each other, creating a network of interconnected knowledge.
# **Definition/Description**
Bidirectional linking enables two notes to be mutually connected, fostering a non-linear and emergent system of knowledge.
# **Key Points**
- **How It Works**: Links between notes are reciprocal, meaning visiting one note will show links to the other.
- **Benefits**:
- Encourages emergent relationships between ideas.
- Simulates the brain’s associative thought processes.
- **Tools**:
- Supported by platforms like Obsidian, Roam Research, and Logseq.
# **Insights**
Bidirectional linking transforms static notes into dynamic networks, promoting creativity and deeper understanding.
