We have all seen the MindMaps that have become so popularized through seminars and their excellent spokesmen, authors and psychological researchers, but it is now time to take these MindMaps to a whole new level and use them to predict behavior mathematically by way of computer and perhaps even use them for AI or Artificial Intelligent Computer programming.

Now then here are my thoughts to put mathematics to your MindMap. First I need to help you visualize my concept. By making your MindMap a wheel (for now, later a sphere) where along the circumference are all the branches and sub-branches of the MindMap and rolling moving it along a line we can record the data.

With each point of the decision-making process a symbol of numerical importance or a "skip". A skip is when you do not wish to consider an issue or that data point of accumulated "knowledge" or "experience" in the XML digital library. The line is folded or stair stepped to prevent its use. But could be unfolded later if you wish to use it, if the output answer is not pleasing to the human team of thinkers?

When might the answer be appropriate or undesirable? Well, a decision such as "Nuke All of the Middle East" to have peace on Earth in the future, maybe the decision made by the human, system AI computer in such a case is absolutely right, but we know cannot go there. So, unfold the line and re-look at more data points, which might allow for another outcome.

Thus in using my stair step method you would end up at the finish point or answer to the question at a different level. The levels would be the total sum of the scenario, thus you could stack the potential answers and choose the most favorable. Then take that answer against the next set of questions and therefore you would progress in time and track all the decision making process for the humans. These are my preliminary thoughts. Of course as the operator of an Online Think Tank of course I am open to others in 2007.
