This is how human mind functions. If we remembered everything we ever did, we'd have so many thoughts it'd be hard to think more. That's why we have this garbage collection system that helps us forget unimportant rarely thought about information. You'd think a note taking system should be the secondary space for all that discarded information.

This is not a problem specific to bi directional linked note taking systems. Anyone who takes a lot of notes knows that majority of their note database is never touched again. Most notes have a very limited time span after which they are just garbage. Note taking systems are not optimized for this. They try to be a "second brain" excluding the forgetting part. It can't be done no matter how you organize or connect your notes.

After a time you'll realize organization of notes is an unnecessary burden. If you really want to find a note, you'll almost always use search.
