A strict 'one concept, one note' rule forces atomicity in a personal knowledge base. When three notes (e.g., 'Special Forces Hiring Standard', 'Special Forces Approach to Startups', 'Minimum Passing Grade is Excellent') all encode the same idea in different framings, you delete the duplicates and keep one. The redundancy feels harmless at three notes but compounds across a vault — dilutes search, splits backlinks, and turns retrieval into a coin flip.
