Context Dock and Knowledge Model
Core Doctrine
QiLife does not separate doing from knowing.
Every major tool view should have a Context Dock showing the knowledge, note/reflection-type QiBits, documents, history, related QiBits, people, money, and AI interpretation relevant to the current item.
Why Not a Separate Wiki
QiLife should embed knowledge next to the work instead of depending on a separate wiki engine.
