Artists are very concerned with relationships of meaning and time.
When I write, I really only have one main line of thought, but to grasp what that thought means, I have to decompose it. I need to write to the side, to show that at this point in time, this and other thoughts arise. I don't want just the final line, I want to see all the lines that make up that line.
That's overkill for alot of usecases, but necessary for mine.
I also do alot of annotations of dense philosophical works. I have to seriously grasp them because I want my art to cohere.
I guess you could say Zeminary is a metathinking app. Or a chordal or a contrapuntal thinking app. It makes Ideamusic more deliberate.
You can do the same work in other places, but Zeminary makes it alot easier for me. For example, writing in one place doesn't cause everything else to shift around. Images and extra context local to a specific grid can be hidden in that grid (scrollable). The soft shadows help to "bleed" ideas. You can unborder grids to separate context. The bareness and the lack of distracting UI helps me to focus. Movable mindmaps are easier to pull off. There's marks, there's multipoint comments. There's alot of subtle touches. Etc. I'll be adding more feature layers in the future.
One of my future art projects is to write a 4096 part work based on the King Wen Sequence. 64 x 64 = 4096. It'll be very dense. I'm making Zeminary Tensor for that.
Zeminary Tensors might even become an app of choice for anyone looking to author & publish large textworks.
And progressive summarization / expansion / composition.
It's just an analogy of music. Music is a succession of sounds. Ideamusic is a succession of ideas. Here's the guiding philosophy of Zeminary if you don't have a Twitter.
Zeminary to me is supposed to be an Ideamusicsheet.
I didn't want to call it that in my post cause that just ... sounds a bit kooky.

Zeminary is more for artists than technologists.
