Block references
One claim, one address — single source of truth
Block IDs are UUIDv4. One definition, one address. ((id)) cites it everywhere. Maintenance effort on a definition change drops by 95%, because you edit exactly one block and 14 places stay in sync.
Copy-paste across pages creates drift
A definition travels via Ctrl+C into 14 pages. Six months later the definition changes. You maintain one place and forget 13. Consistency between definition and usage falls below 50% without you noticing.
- Drift symptom 1: two pages contradict each other, and both look plausible.
- Drift symptom 2: a search for “ICP” returns 14 hits with 4 different definitions.
- Drift symptom 3: nobody knows which version is right — so a new one gets written. Now there are 15.
5 rules for block references
- One UUIDv4 per block. Each block gets an ID when you create it, e.g. 6c1b9a2e-4f3d-47a1-9e10-c0b7e2a55f12. Stable, collision-free, nothing to guess.
- Block reference ≠ block embed. ((id)) links — the block stays visible at its home. {{embed ((id))}} mirrors — the block appears inline at the citation.
- ((id)) syntax. Double parentheses, UUID between them, no space. Auto-complete kicks in once you type ((.
- Single source vs mirror. The definition lives in exactly one place (the source). Every other place is a mirror via ((id)). An edit on the mirror is an edit on the source.
- ADR as the anchor use case. Architecture Decision Records are the natural source: phrase the decision once, then reference it from the roadmap, onboarding and postmortem via ((id)).
## ADR-007: Block-IDs sind UUIDv4
id:: 6c1b9a2e-4f3d-47a1-9e10-c0b7e2a55f12
Wir verwenden UUIDv4 für Block-IDs, weil:
- kollisionsfrei ohne zentrale Vergabe
- 122 Bit Entropie reichen für 10^36 Blöcke
- offline generierbar (crypto.randomUUID())

ID-Schema: ((6c1b9a2e-4f3d-47a1-9e10-c0b7e2a55f12))Before and after — 14 Wikipedia clones vs one block, embedded 14 times
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| 14 pages with the ICP definition copy-pasted | 1 block, 14 references via ((id)) |
| Edit in 14 places, forget 13 | Edit in 1 place, 14 places in sync |
| Search “ICP” → 14 hits, 4 versions | Search “ICP” → 1 source, 14 backlinks |
| Drift goes unnoticed, contradictions in the wiki | Drift ruled out by design |
| Maintenance effort grows linearly with usages | Maintenance effort stays constant, whatever the usage count |

Fokus 2026: ((a8e2d710-3b9f-4c25-8d6a-1f2e7b3c4d50))An honest question
How often have you had to maintain the same definition in several places? Count the places where “customer”, “lead” or “done” is defined in your wiki. If the number is above 1, at least one of them is out of date.
One claim, one address. Everything else is a mirror.
One claim. One address.
