Notes:
- Immutable text is easier. Referents don’t move.
- List/database view of annotations
- Annotations help reveal meaning “dark matter” reasoning through at different pace layers
- Words mean different things in different contexts.
- “Communicating technology” is hard because we don’t know what idea may help someone else grasp the concept.

- "there's no reason why the file name shouldn't also be a standoff document"
- "Every technology has an implicit system of values behind it." Standoff as more amenable to multi-player of single-player contexts is a really interesting idea!
