Regarding the limitations of a tree structure and the implementation of node “cloning” in mind map programs:
Personally, I find it much more helpful to have a “concept map”, where an item can have multiple parents. So, rather than cloning nodes and showing multiple copies in the map, only one copy is needed and one can view its various parents.
The ideal, in my view, is to have software that has both an outline view (that can show multiple parents) and a “concept mapping” view (i.e., a map view that can show multiple parents). Options for this are extremely limited. A few that come to mind are: CMapTools (a bit out of date), InfoQube with its Surface view, and Fibery (online only, a bit finicky for this purpose in my experience, and requires a slightly complex set-up).
