CORE DEFINITION

Map of Content, a core component of the LYT system, is an "index note" specifically used to link related notes. It is not a rigid classification directory but a flexible navigation hub. Scaffolding role: establish order in chaos. When the number of notes grows to be difficult to manage, use MOC to create topic entrances, keeping notes atomic while enabling quick navigation.

MOC (Map of Content) is an "index note" that aggregates atomic notes under the same topic into a navigable entrance via links. It sits between folders (rigid) and global search (disorderly): it preserves the atomicity of notes while providing a topic-level view, and flexibly reorganizes structure as content grows.
