Not to take anything away from the work which is indeed useful but I found the article bizarre because of what references were used and what were omitted.
The author talks about Intermediate Representation and then goes on about biology without mentioning even once compilers. Things like LLVM IR and ML IR literally have the term IR in them and what the author is trying to do seems closer in spirit to those than anything else.
Then the actual modeling in the IR was done with the concept of Blocks. Which seems very similar to the concept of Blocks as used in Notion. And yet no reference to it either.

Interesting. The drag and drop part especially ... Kind of sounds like this ought to be an OS feature. Why can't you drag anything into anything else?

It is an OS feature -- IMO macOS has some of the most advanced and widespread drag-and-drop of any consumer operating system. A lot of the conventional wisdom has been lost in the face of SwiftUI, though.

This is basically llvm but for documents. Makes a lot of sense
