Love this! My map of US politics would have a lot more dead ends, but I guess when ideas die, people go somewhere

I'd like to capture that. I am hoping to create a visualization tool that can work with spreadsheet data including deadends

That’d be sweet. I just googled, and it looks like sankey diagram tools exist. Idk how well they work

A key difference is Sankeys are better for equilibrium circulation flows than secular change tapestries

Things like histories/blockchains as opposed to flow-state snapshots at one moment in time like physical flow sankeys
