tool description
The mind map is a tool for the visual elicitation of our thoughts and their connexions.
The visualization begins with a problem or an idea put in the centre of the representation. Then signs, lines, words and drawings are used in order to build a system of thoughts around the starting point.
The hand and the mind work simultaneously.
