Editorial Abstract
The modern internet is obsessed with the ephemeral now: infinite streams, decaying tweets, and metrics that vanish in 24 hours. A digital garden rejects this velocity. It represents a topology where ideas grow over years, linked organically rather than sorted by publication timestamps.
