A hand-made map that gathers the notes on one topic — navigation for you AND for the AI.
A Map of Content is a note whose job is to point at other notes: a curated index for one topic, project or domain, linking the pieces that belong together. Unlike a tag (a flat label you hope to match later), a MOC is an authored map with structure and intent — it says not just what's related but how, and in what order. It's how you navigate a large vault by topic instead of by folder. Crucially it's a map the LLM can traverse too: give an AI the MOC and it can follow the links to exactly the relevant notes, instead of guessing or grepping blind. Maps beat search when the territory is big — for humans and for agents alike.
Where it lives: Borrowed from Nick Milo's LYT; central to how the vault (and the AI) navigates by topic.
