I think there's a lot to recommend the incremental approach! I do a lot of my thinking that way—a sort of hybrid between incrementalism and durable notes updated over time. Still not sure how to best negotiate that boundary, but neither extreme seems right in all cases.

Any time I see a hard category boundary, I want to find a game loop that will turn it into a smooth gradient.

Yes. My notes typically start out incremental and end up being shaped into something durable when I find myself returning to an idea repeatedly. But this is very reliant on my memory for noticing the state of various pieces. I've tried "inbox" models, hasn't stuck…

Same. IMO inboxes are an attempt to make up for a missing feedback loop through force of will.

A nice claim. Yes, the natural note-wandering process creates a feedback loop here, but it's not quite strong enough to reliably make me notice related incremental bits in daily notes.
I’ve been using the notion of a log or journal to turn a note into a _series_ of notes spread through time. In theory this lets me deeplink into evolving ideas but in practice it just gives me an easy way to keep coming back to the same ideas and evolve them non-monotonically.
