, I've been attempting to adapt your approach to "Prefer positive note titles to promote systematic theory" (notes.andymatuschak.org/About_these_no), but I'm not sure if I'm finding it to be a good fit for systems thinking, when there are many forces.
Have you dealt with this?

As a concrete example, this piece I just published describes many factors. It's unclear how I could summarize it as a whole with a note title of this form. And if I were to summarize each factor as a note title, the titles would likely be very repetitive.

Yes, this has been an issue. Tradeoffs everywhere, etc. At least for the moment, I've taken the repetitive-title approach; e.g. notes.andymatuschak.org/z42J1vxsMjhkdb.
I'm broadly pretty skeptical of block-oriented editing environments, but this is a place where they might do better.
Interesting to note, though, that the constituent notes linked there are referenced in different places and do find themselves growing in different directions. So while they may start highly-clustered, they often diverge and take on their own identity.

My intuition, is that there are multiple forms of "parameterization" for the "note title API". But there is also a danger of over complexifying or overstructuring.
