Concepts are just densely linked ideas

Function: The BIS is responsible for sensitivity to punishment, non-reward, and novel situations. It regulates avoidance behavior.
Emotional Responses: It is associated with feelings of anxiety, fear, and apprehension. When activated, it can lead to cautious or inhibited behavior.
Neurobiological Basis: The BIS is thought to involve brain regions such as the hippocampus and amygdala, which are associated with processing risk and fear.

The idea of a concept is just a densely linked network of smaller ideas. They were put together by someone at some time, but all information and knowledge management works this way, in a modular way at first coming together to create a concept.

Ex: Evernote style note-taking -> Flat file system like NValt -> Drafts (just capture) -> Zettelkasten/Cards/Concepts/Obsidian (PKM)

One could also argue that the emergence of Markdown was part of that journey too.
