Maybe we need to see our threads as puzzle pieces and find expression by using the puzzle pieces to see the big picture more clearly.

Hello Rev. Otterman. First, I'd like to welcome you to ToeQuest. It is certainly nice to hear your perspective in our Quest. In your post you've hit on a topic on which I've spent much time pondering. I've been searching for alternative ways of organizing the content at ToeQuest so various patterns, connections between thoughts and ideas, the larger picture can emerge as a more comprehensible whole. I think better tools will emerge over time and I will integrate those with the website as they become available. The best tool I have found so far is mind mapping technology that I use with the
topic assimilation sub-forums. There is only one thread that has been assimilated so far named
Qualia. There is a mind map document and a free viewer that can be downloaded for viewing the qualia mind map. I'll be starting more of these threads in 2006, and will be seeking to work with the vender to add collaboration and merge features to the tool.
