Has anyone ever tried to construct cluster maps of essential reads at the cores of all canons together? Ie instead of using terms like “Greek classics”, “enlightenment thinkers”, “critical theory”, “Frankfurt school” just a graph of “people who cite this cite this also”

This is the function of the canon. Posterity has done the filtering for you. IMO, time is better spent on reading, re-reading, and re-re-reading these works than Big Data crunching them.
