I created a two-dimensional interconnected loopable mindmap that is ever expanding (definitely not the classical form of mindmap). I find this a good approach for me, better than the one-dimensional linkable wiki style of notes - that I used to use.
By loopable I mean that the output of a node/leaf can become its own input or any other ancestor.
The mind map software I’ve used was unidirectional with links coming out from a central node/leaf. What I missed was linking leafs back to the origin or other branches.
After all, our minds are interconnected and definitely not unidirectional - at least mine!
I use Node-Red[1] to create my mind map which has the added advantage that my mind map is “executable”. Node-Red is actually a visual programming environment and has nothing to do with mind maps except visually. I created some specific Node-Red nodes to represent leafs/nodes of my mind map.
