This is the part that I have a problem with:
p.125: methodical branch-by-brach development of Mind Map is not desirable
limits thought
My position is that anything you can write down, is incomplete and limited and a subset of your own growing understanding. To write it down is to hamstring greater understanding.
It is better to write throwaway notes used to make a picture of a particular context for the situation, use it, embellish it, then when the problem at hand is solved, discard it. I used to keep log books. What I found is that it was mostly a write-only journal. In rare cases there were specific pages that I would refer back to frequently because it was good documentation of a particular thing. Most of the pages were scrap. So now I mostly just grab the closest piece of paper and use it like a whiteboard.
The other thing I'm coming to realize is that my knowledge isn't necessarily representable in words or even pictures. They tend to be concepts related to other concepts by conceptual links. I could try to draw one such picture, but that would make it less likely that I can find a corresponding picture in an analogue as it takes thoughts away from the conceptual/formless structures. Related term 'Ideasthesia'.
