We've always been talking about books and text, but the new kind allows for all sorts of new data structures, with any number of dimensions and relationships between any type of data. If events are nodes and the relationships between them are edges, then the event graph was hereto flat and largely unidimensional, but we're... ending that.
Knowledge is an intrinsically Rhizomic process. The "objects" of knowedge are the fruits, a trail of formalized knowledge that has been given a specific structure as papers, books etc. These objects are a transcription, a model, a representation of "knowledge itself" Knowledge itself, beyond the produced is messy, entangled and difficult to encapsulate. Linking events together basically gives us a new axis of interaction. A map that only uses straight lines can be useful, but adding curved lines into the cartography toolbox just provides us a finer resolution to represent and navigate the territory.
