Thanks for the input men.
I thank you for your suggestions. I’ve never looked closely at FlyingLogic until now.

I take your point that Thebrain plex is able to be manipulated almost infinetly. I suppose the difference is that it references the information with thought ‘placeholders’ over making the information the reference itself. The references are text symbolic references and finite in their scope. What do I do if I need to reference areas of an image in Thebrain that contain the information I need to use? How many information and curation panes do I need to have open to make those symbols reference information further afield? a few. I really like Thebrain. Textual symbolic links might be better serviced by a wiki hyperlink,and the spatial by mindmap. Thebrain plex really has next to nil information on it! it can be myopic in scope, and relies on a purely biological mental curation schema to provide structure to how those symbolic references are used. Sure, the larger views of the plex can be rewarding, but then the mental requirements to behold all the symbolisms and recall actual information contained within gets extreme. At times it adds load to the manipulation of the information contained within, without adding value to that information. Proximity of thoughts is limited to a subject-child-becoming-subject. Can a circular reference even be made without jump thoughts?

It’s not that I’m making a rant against it, or claiming it isnt extremely powerful. Thebrain is my daily workplace. The information in a picture isnt linear. Nor should it be transmuted to something like that if a practical dissemination of that information is required. But annotation outlines arent of any depth in the information marketplace. spatial proximity outlines over linear container outlines are just so USEABLE when needing to introduce other people to our information curation space, without explaining the symbols of our mental discipline.
Sorry for the rant, I’m on holidays without much to keep me occupied..
