Relationship graphs are rhizomes just like a Zettelkasten. - This is what I phrased when I tried to explain the Cérnagyár Hungarian creative community relationships to my friends.

I started from one member I wanted to talk about with my friends. They didn’t know him. So I tried to explain him through his relationships. But I needed to go a few hops until I found someone we all knew.

Then I entered the relationship net from the person we all knew and explained the relationship chain again, from a different starting point that made more sense to them.

Rhizomes are like that: you can enter at any point and discover the net starting from there.
