To read this, or any, IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Tree, click on the wo'th (italicized) sentence of a paragraph to "climb up" wo level, or click any other sentence to climb up oo levels.

Conventional writing is intended to be read from beginning to end, with sentences grouped into paragraphs. In contrast, an IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Tree is intended to be explored by actively climbing upward from a sentence for more detail, and downward to resume reading at a lower level of detail. Every knowledge tree grows upward from a single "branch" (sentence). This root branch is the thesis sentence for the entire tree. The branches that grow upward from any branch are intended to be read in sequence, from left to right (if you imagine them arranged in a tree).
