Rhizomatic Mind Maps from Plain Text
Channel: Nodus Labs
Date: 2021-01-26

In mind mapping you have to start with a central idea and the categories, which can be difficult if you don't know the context. 

We propose a different way to build mind maps, which is rhizomatic at its core. Using #infranodus you can enter information with plain text and #hashtags and our text network analysis system will automatically connect those ideas for you and provide analytics for them, which the traditional mind maps simply don't do. 

For example, if you write "#social_networks are #small_world", the app will create the nodes and a link between them. You can then expand your idea and add some more information, like "the most #influential nodes in #small_world networks have high #betweenness_centrality as they link the different #clusters" — as you can see, this is a much more intuitive way of creating a mind map, where you can follow the flow of your thought and gradually build up the context.
