What’s the point of a digital lab [/garden/whatever]?

Isn’t everything already on Wikipedia??
Well, there’s a couple things to say to that.
Original thinking
My digital lab serves as a place for me not to regurgitate information that I know, but rather to make sense of it, and maybe even synthesize it into something new.
Making connections
perhaps adding new edges to our knowledge graph is more important than adding new nodes. That is, maybe discovering the isomorphisms/analogies between existing concepts is more powerful than learning new concepts

It seems like things gain more meaning when they are multiply-connected into the fabric of our reality.
