I've used index cards on and off as an alternative to large-form-factor brainstorming tools like whiteboards. I've lately been trying out a new technique: differential mind-mapping. If you want to join the experiment, here's my v 0.1 of technique (cc: @fortelabs @deadly_onion)

Eventual goal is to switch to "tiling" mode. When I have maybe 30-50 full cards and am running out of stream, I'm going to try and "solve" it as a jigsaw puzzle and try to pop larger emergent patterns. This is deliberately forcing yourself to start at worm's eye view.

General inspiration is from non-Euclidean geometry (used in relativity theory etc), which is based on such "local patches glued together" approaches. Good for very complex curvy idea spaces.

A favorite quote of mine is J. A. Wheeler tldring general relativity: matter tells space-time how to curve, spacetime tells matter how to move. matter = ideas space-time = connection structure among them.
