Thanks. I have considered and tried to implement strategies like that, and I think it’s better for me to do what I’m doing because:
I do model-building primarily for my purposes of using models to decide things in real life. This kind of content, with a bunch of dependencies because it was made based on pulling from my entire worldview, is the content which already exists. The subset which I can link something to explain the dependencies is what I can write in the course of my life which is mostly not about writing, without spending time generating sort-of-related surface-level content. A much larger chunk of the work for doing the writing I’m doing is “free” in that I’m already doing it. And in practice that makes it something that I actually have time to do sometimes.
Also, I think you’d be surprised. I’ve had at least one person who didn’t know me personally get it, I think.

Yeah, ok, “I don’t have time for that” is definitely a valid response to this.
