exploring new metaphysial concepts
greetings,
I would like to know if infraNodus can help my work. I will try to be clear :
- i have a big bunch of database in my spreadsheet (i use mac Numbers). its mainly texts, glyphs, in my own language.
- its data describing, depicting "things/objects" from hermetic subjects (alchemy, astrology, psychology, mythology, hermetism etc...). it goes from characters, tu objects, places, up to images,...
- i would like to use different types of links and tags to connect these data
my final goal is to link all that and find new metaphysical concepts/archetypes to deeper work on. i am looking to use graphview to find links i have not noticed, or new links i could create between these datas (in order to explore new metaphysical concepts)
for now i am trying to find a suitable (not toooo complicated) app because spreadsheets are a little bit limitated. i have tried few of them and Obsidian-like apps sounds for now maybe suitable
do you think obsidian + infranodus would match?
also would you recommend other plugins to add on top of it? (maybe for a deeper works on links and #tag)
thanks for reading

Hello! I think the best would be to skip Obsidian and to import your spreadsheet directly into InfraNodus.
You would first need to decide what should be the basis for the connections. The easiest way is if you have a column with text to use that column for importing data so that all the terms in the column are connected. However, you might choose to have a different type of connectivity, for instance, between the cells. Say one column is "things/objects" and another one is "characters", you could build a graph connecting them to each other and graph the most relevant high-level relations this way.
Once you build the graph, you will already get lots of insight from looking at its structure and finding out the main "nodes" and clusters, but also the gaps between them — that's where the new ideas are hiding.
If you're interested to have a demo, you can send us some of your sample data via Discord - https://discord.com/invite/v4BWAvTfB9 - and we can look into it!
