  • Busywork activity for children, where a hidden picture is reveled by connecting numbered dots. Ostensibly helps with motor skills and counting.

  • A thought game played by the characters in Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Where they used a file card-based cross-referenced system (rereminds me of everything) to node surf between random concepts. (Probably had a different name. I'd look it up, but I'm lazy and should be working.)

  • synonym for noding/linking with the tendancy to reduce the Erdos number (Bacon number?) of Everything.

    See everything game, six degrees of everything, Everything in the old days
