Mind map

Branching concept map.

Items as nodes and their relationships as edges.

One root, branches beneath. The shape is the argument.

Opening a second site

What it does

Behaviours, not fields. Choosing between two modules is choosing between these.

Forcing a single root makes you decide what the thing is actually about, which a free-form graph lets you avoid.

Depth is explicit, so a branch that has quietly become its own subject is visible.

Right when the breakdown is genuinely hierarchical, and wrong when it is not.

How it works

  1. 1

    A subject is named as the root, and everything else hangs off something.

  2. 2

    Forcing a single parent per branch is the constraint that makes you decide what the thing is about.

  3. 3

    Depth is derived, so a branch that has quietly become its own subject is visible.

  4. 4

    Reparenting a branch moves everything beneath it.

Best for

Showing how things connect: who knows whom, what depends on what.

Not the right choice for

Answering a precise question. A graph is for noticing, not measuring.

What a row holds

Every field, and what the agent listens for to fill it — which is the difference between a page you type into and one that fills itself.

FieldTypeFilled from
BranchrequiredtextA part of the subject, named as somebody would say it.
ParentrequiredtextWhat it hangs off. The root has none, which is what makes it the root.
DepthtextHow far from the root. Derived, and useful for spotting a branch that grew.

What it does not do

A module chosen for something it cannot do costs more than one that was never offered.

  • One root. A subject with two centres is an idea map, not a mind map.
  • No cross-links between branches — that is the whole difference from a graph.
  • Deep trees render poorly; past four levels it is a document.
  • Nothing enforces that the tree is complete or balanced.

Before it works

What you have to provide, if anything.

  • Name the root first. Everything else follows from it.
  • If you cannot name a single root, the subject wants Idea mapping.

In practice

An owner considering a second site.

Break down what opening a second site actually involves.
What was said to the agent

What the agent built

A root with money and staffing beneath it, each with their own branches.

What changed

Lease versus buy turned out to sit two levels down under money, not at the top. The order of the decisions changed.

Questions

What data does the Mind map page use?

It reads idea records the agent has collected. Branching concept map. Nothing has to be imported first — the page appears once there is something to show.

Do I have to build or configure it?

No. You describe what you need in a sentence and the agent chooses the view and fills it. Custom pages exist for the cases no built-in view covers, and those are reviewed before they go live.

When is a graph the wrong choice?

Answering a precise question. A graph is for noticing, not measuring. It is best for: showing how things connect: who knows whom, what depends on what.

Does it stay up to date?

Yes. The page is a view over the data rather than a copy of it, so anything the agent learns afterwards shows up without a rebuild or a re-import.

Ask for it in a sentence

You do not configure this page. You tell your agent what you need and it builds it from what it has already collected.
