I remember some software that apple was developing a few years ago called “Hot Sauce” which gave a 3-d look to bookmarks etc…and I thought it would be very useful to have that 3rd dimension to allow for mapping that goes both wide and deep…

As to the fuzzy thinking idea… my assumption (look out with that assumptin’ thang) is that this is someway tied to fuzzy logic which could be helpful… In those “forest for the trees” moments when the problem maybe has not been defined…a fuzzy mechanism might be of assistance in discovering (albeit recursively) what the real problem is… (I am struggling to find a word not heuristic, not hierarchical….) it is an H word though… that is where fuzzy tools could help.

So, while I never favor intentionally more complex tools that serve no purpose beyond l’n'f I’d be interested in having something like this as a way of organizing ideas, formulating solutions etc…. If you’ve seen the movie “High Fidelity” it would make some sense to have multiple connections to the same data sets but in different “synaptic” connections….
