A problem I face is that mind maps represent only _one_ form of organization. In my head I can switch between various perspectives to some extent. If I try to make a computer help with the organization, I typically lose track of the mental map that I have, once the graph layout changes. I wonder how this process works in a brain, where switching feels more fluent.
Also, your comment made me wonder if a 3d map would be intrinsically better, but I doubt that that is the case. The distance metric is perhaps the limiting factor. A time dimension (for instance in the form of hyperlinking) works quite well, but obviously this requires time and effort from the user.
And in this context I would like to mention Kinopio, which makes mind mapping fun: https://kinopio.club/ https://kinopio.club/
