This is basically like hypertext and Ted Nelson's ideas outlined in Computer Lib/Dream Machines. He says that our data shouldn't have a strict hierarchy since that hierarchy is subjective and is typically inflexible. What we should have instead is data that can be reordered/represented in different ways. The Everything Bucket apps that Payne is talking about are totally flexible and you can make up whatever hierarchy you like for your data. This is powerful and I haven't used any of these tools, but I assume they aren't powerful enough to allow multiple data representations.
