I think this is fundamentally NOT how humans remembers things - I think we are masters in "geospatial" memory compared to abstract unrelated concepts, and "geospatial" memory is probably organised in hierarchies.
Worse, it's next to impossible to efficiently explore a large tag-cloud compared to a hierarchical structure, which means it's much harder to learn about things organised in a tag-cloud compared to hierarchical tree, or a graph that is mostly tree-like.
As an example; it totally breaks the xkcd techsupport cheat sheet - you end up in the "click one at random" branch basically all the time. https://xkcd.com/627/
Obviously, tagging things is good too, but file systems and computers should emphasise the tree (a better one than the Windows file strucutre though)- rather than inventing a confusing cloud/fog of unrelated things.
