METHOD TO EFFICIENTLY PROCESS AND PRESENT POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS OF A SET OF CONTIGUOUS PEER-TO-PEER LINKS
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for displaying user-selected knowledge nodes within a set of knowledge nodes, stored as a set of linked pairs of nodes, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a set of knowledge nodes each configured for being selectable as at least one of a root node, an antecedent node and a descendent node;
b) choosing interactively any knowledge node within said set of knowledge nodes as a root node;
c) selecting any knowledge node within said set of knowledge nodes as a second of said nodes to form a linked pair of said nodes, wherein said second node is distinct from said root node;
d) determining if a relationship between said root and second nodes is directionless or directional;
e) determining whether said second node is antecedent or descendent of said root node;
f) selecting a third node from any knowledge node within said set of knowledge nodes;
g) determining if a relationship between said third node and either of said root and second nodes is directionless or directional;
h) determining whether said third node is antecedent or descendent of either of said root or said second nodes, said third node forming a separately arranged linked pair with either of said root or said second nodes;
i) repeating steps f-h with additional nodes from said set of knowledge nodes;
j) generating a knowledge map tree from said separately arranged linked pairs, each of said linked pairs individually sharing a common node; and
k) displaying said knowledge map tree.

Abstract
A method for displaying nodes within a set of nodes, stored as a set of linked pairs, indulging the steps of: providing a set of nodes each configured for being selectable as at least one of a root node, an antecedent node and a descendent node; choosing interactively any node within the set of nodes as a root node; selecting any node within the set of nodes as a second node to form a linked pair of nodes; determining if a relationship between the root and second nodes is directionless or directional; determining whether the second node is antecedent or descendent of the root node; and generating and displaying a knowledge map tree from the separately arranged linked pairs.
