Agreed. If I'm writing only for myself, one db for everything is best, but when it comes to sharing what I've written with others, I need to be able to separate out different chunks.

Still think will be easier with the right UI in a single db than for whole ones -- but quite likely could be wrong

If it becomes problematic when you want to share parts, then it seems like the choice is between making content islands or somehow tagging every single note with who gets to see it. That's too much effort for the writer and will lead to weird voids in what some readers will see.

yeah tagging every note is a failure mode... that's how Google+ circles model failed miserably. Nobody's got time to do that level of high friction curation. If the graph were a pure DAG, you could tree-level permissioning, but this one isn't

You can still do tree permissions I claim

I have a feeling you're going to run into literal Godelian paradoxes and Russell sets and things

Dont think so, since you just bias toward privacy when there is ambiguity. Subtree that is shared nested under private tag in a strange loop way? Just don't show I it -- flag why not showed in UI

looking forward to seeing how you solve this, especially with transclusions in a loop etc.... possibility for funhouse mirror UIs

You can make strange loops w embeds now

We're just rude about it. Look bottoms out with like red text that dont tell you much

Ah but I mean with privacy variations along the way... but your answer sounds fine... conservative privacy should break strange-loop leaks, though it still doesn't solve the high-friction individual page permission-setting problem. I'd like to see how you do tree permissions.

There probably is an elegant solution to this complex problem. In the face of complexity, I would expect users to pick an uglier yet more legible solution, like keeping everything private & screenshotting or exporting bits to Evernote.

On a related note, you know who you need to get this in the hands of? Diplomats. They literally carry around knowledge graphs in their heads.
