weave unfamiliar new forms—not from paper, and not from pixels, but from insights about human cognition.
New forms of knowledge? Maybe it is knowledge that is the problem. To teach someone without telling them is more difficult (more time), but in the end, it is the only thing that works?

By shouldering some of readers’ self-monitoring and regulation, these authors’ efforts can indeed lighten the metacognitive burden. But metacognition is an inherently dynamic process, evolving continuously as readers’ own conceptions evolve. Books are static. Prose can frame or stimulate readers’ thoughts, but prose can’t behave or respond to those thoughts as they unfold in each reader’s head. The reader must plan and steer their own feedback loops.
Reading books is just a form of transmission from author to reader. Even if the reader is thoughful and takes deep thought, it may not coincide with the book's pre-planned path. i.e. I read this section in the article, I think deeply and at length, but now, I return to the article, and the next paragraph is not related to my thoughts...
i suggest a network of information, which ties to neurons of information to each other. If someone was tired or mentally fatigued, they could follow these networks (drawn by previous thinkers). The network is every increasing at each node. This network can be thought of a mind map, but breaks conventional mind map rules. Nodes can reconnect back to each other. Branches are not made, instead, every path in the network is equal in weight/ thickness.
Part 1: Capture network someone travels down. Part 2: Draw network (Mind map) Part 3: Suggest/ display network and journey a 'reader' can take.

A lo largo de varias disciplinas y la manera que procesamos información se ve un patrón, ciclos vitales como la respiración. Empezamos con pensamientos incompletos y desordenados para después ordenarlos. En diseño es brainstorming (divergente) y selección (convergente), en la escritura es escribir libremente para después iterar ediciones del escrito. Necesitamos permitir la imperfección para generar opciones que después seleccionaremos y puliremos.

In design, people alternate between being generative (e.g. “encourage wild ideas!” in a brainstorm), and then focusing down using a more critical or pragmatic lens. This can also be called “creating choices vs. making choices.”
En diseño es práctica habitual. Generar muchas ideas, opciones para luego seleccionar las mejores opciones.
