Nuggetization

NeoBooks are composed of Nuggets, set in a sequence determined by their authors. The Nuggets are usually text, but they might also be a graphic or a table.

The process of "Nuggetization" is the process of composing Nuggets so they fit well in the flow of the NeoBook they are originally meant for, but also are well suited for inclusion in future works, including others' works. That means you're writing with the possibility of multiple contexts surrounding your Nugget, which in turn means writing in a way that is relatively self-contained.
