Method and system of organizing information based on human thought processes
First Claim
1. A construct stored in machine readable media for the organization and dissemination of information, the construct comprising:
- at least a first structure, the first structure including, a plurality of steps with at least a portion of the steps arranged into a plurality of paths having two or more sequentially linearly arranged steps, wherein each path of the plurality of paths has a first step in the sequence and a last step in the sequence, at least one intersection point associated with a step of a first path of the plurality of paths, and at least one intersection linkage coupled with the at least one intersection point at a end and being associated with a step of a second path of the plurality of paths at an opposing end;
wherein the structure includes a predetermined number of entry locations and a predetermined number of exit locations providing the only means for entering and exiting the structure.

Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention, a method and system for recording and mapping information and data is described. The system (or intellect map) comprises paths of steps of thought organized into structures comprising two or more paths. The structures each comprise a relatively small number of predefined points of entry and exit wherein the exit and entry points can be but do not necessarily comprise the same intersection points. In some embodiments, a plurality of structures can be connected to each other by way of appropriate entry and exit intersection points with or without intervening connecting paths to form complex structures.

11. A method of recording and organizing information into an intellect map on a computer readable medium, the method comprising:
-
creating a plurality of steps of thought;
joining two or more steps of thought into two or more paths, each path having no decision logic associated with moving between sequential steps of thought in the path;
associating one or more intersection points with one or more steps of thought; and
providing one or more intersection links for each intersection point and associating each link with a destination step of thought (i) in a path different from the path having the associated intersection point, or (ii) to a non adjacent step on the same path. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method disseminating information to a user, the method comprising:
-
providing a structure, the structure comprising, (i) a plurality of steps arranged into a plurality of paths having two or more steps, the paths not having any decision logic to facilitate sequential linear navigation of the path, (ii) one or more intersection points, each intersection point being associated with one step in one path, (iii) one or more intersection links, each intersection link being coupled to associated intersection point at a first end and another non adjacent step on the same path or another step in another path at its opposing second end, (iv) at least one entry locations, and (v) at least one exit locations;
permitting a user to enter the structure only at an entry locations of the at least one entry location and displaying information and data associated with the entry location;
responsive to action(s) of the user in a one step of a first path, transporting the user to a next sequential step in the first path step and displaying information and data associated with a next sequential step;
at the next sequential step, applying decision logic of a first intersection point based on data particular to the user, transporting the user to another step in a second path and displaying information and data associated with the another step; and
permitting the user to leave the structure only at an exit location of the at least one exit locations.
