>
> Each page on wikipedia would be treated as a hyperlink, which would be
> treated as an object, and put on a grid.
>
> an arrow would be drawn between two hyperlinks if one referenced the other.
>
> The hyperlinks would be organized such that there would be the
> smallest amount of arrow line length between hyperlinks.
> (I figure that this would give a crude way of organizing how the pages
> connected to each other)
>
> The power of representing pages as hyperlinks and organizing them as
> objects on a grid is that you can then get a sense of what an idea
> means by how it relates to other ideas.
> I figure more important ideas would go towards the center.
>
> You could also search for new ideas by looking at the grid (as opposed
> to knowing what you want and typing it in)
>
> If anyone has any suggestions, and if anyone knows if anything like
> this has been done before please comment.
>
> Oh and if anyone has suggestions on the best way to make the database of
> hyperlinks that reference each other (spidering all of wikipedia, or
> is there a better way to do it?)
