\n\nOne of the things I’m finding, re: message of the medium of blygging, is that most of the time I don’t want to title my thoughts. The titled vs untitled distinction may be more psychologically fundamental than thread vs fragment. Both can be titled or untitled, though I think there is some correlation between threads and titles. I think adding a title adds functional fixedness to a thought, declaring it to be “For X” and subtly suppressing associations to “not X”
\nI suspect in general you don’t want to title things you expect to transclude. Leaves them stem-celly. Stem-celliness is a big theme in blygger design ethos. Don’t make things mean things until the last possible moment, and only if you have to.

The term pluripotency or even stem-nesss is probably useful, if less descriptive as compared to stemcelliness
