Thanks for this, looks interesting. I had a very quick look. I was looking for something similar a year ago for modelling a network in 3D.

But this doesn’t seem to be quite what I had in mind. I’d prefer if the network was totally fixed, rather than rearranging itself every time you click on a node. I find that confusing, as I lose a sense of the shape of the network.

This is why I’ve never warmed to TheBrain and why I find the Navigator so helpful in ConnectedText. Fluidity is great but I also want the option of pinning things down, so networks can retain a shape that can be recognised and remembered.

For example I’d want to be able to model geographical relationships (locations between places), overlaid by relationships between people in those relationships, overlaid by events that happened in those places and with those people.

Then I’d like to annotate that network by labelling items, nodes, relationships. And I’d like to navigate that space like you navigate Google Maps.

Has anyone seen such a thing? Here is the original thread:
