hypothesis articulation
I have a link to this from two separate places. One of them talks about doing it on an link not tracked and having the hypothesis be about how you suspect the reading material is going to try to tie together concepts. I suppose that is a type of articulation, though it may not be exactly the same as what is being link not tracked, and it's not exactly writing, but just link not tracked creation. I have since learned that scaffolding creation is called link not tracked to fill in a knowledge schema.
a different kind of challenge: trying to “always have a hypothesis” and re-articulating it whenever it changes. By doing this, I try to continually focus my reading on the goal of forming a bottom-line view, rather than just “gathering information.” I think this makes my investigations more focused and directed, and the results easier to retain. I consider this approach to be probably the single biggest difference-maker between "reading a ton about lots of things, but retaining little" and "efficiently developing a set of views on key topics and retaining the reasoning behind them."
