I agree with your opinion referring to Mind Maps as is. However, I do think there's a non-linear representation schema becoming more available accordingly with VR growth.
Given how rapidly x+y values for mind-maps increase alongside content complexity for any one 'abstraction level'; constraints like screen space and uni-dimensional view-points for hierarchies come into play. It would be nice to easily see how core skills connect to different disciplines, say. Then again, side-stepping this by using different kinds of connections/views for nodes across levels may have an exponential maintenance curve. It reminds me of that old/strange hyper-connected theory for Internet infrastructure I can't remember the name of.
I'm keen to think of new methods for map-building since I find them personally useful, but I wonder if I suffer from the hammer-nail bias.
