What are Smart Notes?

Found on Ahrens 2017, 12:

“Notes on paper, or on a computer screen […] do not make contemporary physics or other kinds of intellectual endeavor easier, they make it possible … no matter how internal processes are implemented […you..] need to understand the extent to which the mind is reliant upon external scaffolding.” (Levy 2011)

“One cannot think without writing.” (Luhmann 1981)
