Mind maps are interesting tools, and even overlapping mind maps can be useful ways of showing where multiple sources of understanding can work together...but I feel like this is just arriving at semantic graphs again. And those graphs are already very well trod.
- noobiemcfoob 10y agoYou're not wrong by virtue of mind maps being an applied graph, but the motivations for the edges and clustering is meant to mimic the architecture of human memory as we understand it. A proper mind map can represent abstract and disjoint relationships between concepts using these tools. We can organize data into lists and tables of content, but that's not actually how humans process it.
