Interesting to look at considering I have no idea what any of those notes contains. I will remark that the right hand path takes 4 notes to arrive at the mutual point while the center and left take only 3 (and that thr 3rd step of the center and the 4th of the right appear to be the same note).
I also think it's strange that you appear to have two starting points and only one end point, which ends a note after your branching paths end.
Apparently you know how this will end but not how to begin or the path to reach it. Unless your notes flow from top to bottom in which case you'll need to read this post standing on your head for it to make sense.
I'm actually working from a web concept (Michel Foucault's "governmentality") that doesn't really have a set beginning or ending point, which is why the map looks screwed up. The contact node is the one that branches off in three directions in the top-center of the map. From there everything works in terms of terms of intersecting webs, I just haven't worked out all of the webs yet.
The contact node is a definition of governmentality that defines it as a contact between "technologies of the self" and "technologies of domination," which are the down-left and down-right cards in the triptych. The top-center card is an expanded definition of governmentality that branches left and right into terms of "counter-conduct" and "conduct" respectively.
If you continue down-left through the web, you arrive at another contact node titled "American Sentimental Literature" where all of the works I'm focusing on branch off from (and subsequently do and will connect to other nodes in the web).
