Hi, Mike--
your post raised a question in my mind--which is, how much similarity do
you find between what your talking about and the process that's called
mind-mapping (a topic running through this list back in Apr 96--Buzan
mind-mapping software). I've hunted down the URL for a GIF of a mind-map
(it's 26k, so takes a little while to download
<http://www.gold.net:80/users/dx61/mapa.htm>
It will help me understand a little better, perhaps, if you can
differentiate for me, as I seem to have the "mind-mapping" process as my
primary mental model for what you are describing.
thanks!
