(1) as simple as possible while still being (2) sufficiently nuanced that it can express a large collection of the thinking structures we do in fact find in our thinking when we come to look at it. I think what we’re trying to do with thortspace is provide a visual language that is: That’s why we say about thortspace that it is “ everything from the perspective of everything else”. When we think seriously about a matter, we are looking for perspectives that encompass (include and transcend) all the other perspectives. But are these tools oriented towards causing transformational breakthroughs? There’s no question that such tools are useful. (1) Endpoint-oriented (and mostly single-endpoint at that) (2) Tools for organising information rather than playing with it The mind-mapping and concept-mapping tools that I have seen are: process-oriented - is the journey made to be as important as the destination? (5) Does it support synthesis or analysis or both - building things up, or breaking things down, or both at the same time (1) The degree to which the tool supports looking at a project or problem or study topic from lots of different points of view (2) The degree to which the tool supports experimental reflection and play (contrast with being solely oriented around organising information) (3) The degree to which the tool supports the creation of building blocks of structure that can subsequently be used to build with (4) Static endpoint-oriented vs. Some such dimensions that are important to insightful thinking-in-the-world are: There are a number dimensions on which we can place tools that are designed to help with thinking.
