Replying to LO4531 --

Well...

HyperText is, in a deliberate sense, NOT hierarchical. It is rather a
"Sparse Matrix" where depth and breadth are supposedly indeterminate and
irrelevant over time. That is it can grow in all diections or a few or
several at once with such growth niether planned nor managed.

I am a visualizer and GROK that you must be too. I would like a tool that
would trace out the paths and show me a conceptual map that I could
navigate. It would have to show, though, the underlying commonalities
which give rise to the links. A non-trivial programming and an even more
difficult "MMI" or display problem.
