## Dragon Lifecycle
The Zettelkasten lifecycle mirrors a dragon's growth. Notes hatch as `#Egg` entries and mature through practice into `#Greatwyrm` references. Each stage is a real commitment, not a label.
### Egg Stage
Raw capture. Written quickly, no polish required. The note exists; that is enough. ^egg-stage
### Greatwyrm Stage
Dense, cross-linked, battle-tested. Every claim has a trail. Rarely needs revision because it has already been revised many times. ^greatwyrm-stage
