Unlike let’s say a language, certain kind of knowledge has “dependencies”
Consider the following example:
Frontside:
Define continuous function:
Backside:
Let $X,\tau_X$, $Y,\tau_Y$ be topological spaces, then a function $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is called continuous if for all open sets $S\in\tau_Y$ the preimage $f^{-1}(S)\in\tau_X$ is open.
So. Let’s say whoever sees this has forgotten what an open set, topological space or a preimage is.
I would like to do the following then:
- The card should contain a hyperlink to the card containing “open set”.
- If hyperlink is clicked the card containing the definition for “open set” is opened.
- both cards interval is altered.
Is that feasible?
Because unlike languages where the cards are independent here understanding the cards dependencies is quite important. I can order the deck in a way that doesn’t violate the dependency, but can I reorder them if one forgets a dependency?
(Note we have huge obsidian vaults filled with Mathematical knowledge/definitions, Theorems, exercises and code snippets. All heavily hyperlinked. We are looking into building Anki decks with them now.)
