# Thinking
Why do I want to make this MOC?
MOC Process:
> - _**Cluster**_ ideas/notes together.
> - Add lines between clusters (add the gaps).
> - _**Chart**_ the empty spaces between clusters (map the gaps).
> - _**Create**_ a new “thing” note.
> - _**Create**_ a new “statement” note.
> - _**Collide**_ your ideas.
> - _**Clarify**_ your note titles.
> - _**Connect**_ your notes.
> - _**Cut up**_ a note into two.
> - _**Combine**_ two notes into one.
> - _**Cast aside**_ notes that are no longer relevant.
> - _**Categorize**_ the notes in the MOC.
_Mapping Concepts_ includes mostly creating links to other ideas. It is a higher order of note making.
Creating Maps of concepts include finding the [[emergence]] and [[Convergence]].
This is an inherently [[Constructivism]] way of creating knowledge and storing ideas.
It mirrors the way our brain works. It is a way of organizing and [[dealing with complexity]]
[[Knowledge Value Making]] allows us to keep each note small, but to create meaning in and between each note.

## What's the big idea here?
Thinking in groups is different than thinking alone. Thinking does not occur within our head, but within our context, our interface between our environment and the people around us. Thinking is augmented by external scaffolding such as when we create [[artifacts are evidence of what we created]], [[Mind Mapping]], making [[Maps of Concepts (MOC)]], and also by transactional thinking with teams and people.

## Unrequited notes (by link)
_update when creating MOC to point to this note_
These notes point directly to this note. But this note doesn't point back.
```dataview
table file.mtime.year + "-" + file.mtime.month + "-" + file.mtime.day as Modified
from [[Thinking]]
and !outgoing([[Thinking]])
sort file.mtime desc
```
## Associated notes (by tag)
_Update when creating MOC to point to this tag_
These notes have this associated tag: `#MOC Template`.
```dataview
table file.mtime.year + "-" + file.mtime.month + "-" + file.mtime.day as Modified
from #on/thinking
and !outgoing([[Thinking]])
sort file.mtime desc
```
