Really fantastic: practical part, explanation for current dearth of progress, and future potential! I’ve hacked together a few of these tools for myself & this gave great ideas. I really hope this thinking gets more uptake & work, e.g. most non fiction should be in this format.

The idea that 1) writing cards is a skill/art/craft, and that 2) card quality is crucial to seem key to me. Longterm shifting this burden to the writer (i.e. QC as a new medium) seems key for success: Less work for reader & more likely to create good cards.

This was very interesting! Definitely looking forward to trying out quantum country, or maybe even trying to create my own mnemonic essay . I have a couple thoughts that I'm pondering after reading.

You mentioned how it's important for someone studying to make their own cards rather than use someone else's, though quantum country violates this. I wonder if part of this relates to the narrative structure. Solely using cards almost feels like an "orphaned deck".

Is there by any chance a pdf version somewhere?

In my own experience, conversing about an idea is one of the most effective ways to retain the idea. I get a positive emotional response when I have something perhaps unique to share to my friend.

Now, the act of me commenting on your writing instills knowledge I received from reading. I'm also happy to share this thought in hopes of it sparking new ideas.
