This makes me think of permanent notes / evergreen notes as single phrases similar to a bullet point in an outline for a paper. The source can be a highlight or any other note. The “paper” can be a Map of Content note with all the linked individual notes coming to a larger idea or effort.

They’re atomic and flex up and down and to different ideas.

Exactly! I feel like when people talk about atomic notes people use these singular phrases like philosophy, taxonomy, or whatever it may and then when it comes to the note it's similar, but even smaller broken down chunks and linking those together does nothing for me, but linking synthesized concepts within a other concepts makes a ton of sense to me.
