When syncing highlights into an atomic note system, search for the concept the passage represents, not the literal quote. Verbatim matching fragments your knowledge base the moment you rephrase a thought, quote the same book in two different contexts, or return to an idea months later. Concept-level matching lets the system recognize that three different highlights from different books all point at 'social proof' and route them to one card — preserving the principle of one concept, one note.
