### Sorting notes into multiple places in the hierarchy
While organizing the notes into the hierarchy, you very quickly run into a dilemma - your note seem to belong to two places in the hierarchy equally. As an example - you want to make a note about [bash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)) - does it belong to "OS / Linux" or "Programming / Scripting languages"? This is actually a false dichotomy forced down by the limits of the basic tree hierarchy - the answer is *of course it belongs to both*. This is the reason why Trilium doesn't use standard tree structure (which requires every note to have exactly one parent), but an extension which allows every note to have several parents, thus effectively allowing it to appear in multiple places in the hierarchy. For lack of better term I call this "[cloning](https://github.com/zadam/trilium/wiki/Cloning notes)". The main problem with this term is that it suggests that each clone must have an original, but here all clones are completely equal - effectively there's no original.

In tech lingo, it might be better to describe it as a [hard link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link) with an important difference that it is possible to hard link (clone) a directory (inner note).
