Filesystem is a tree - a particular, constrained graph. Advanced topics usually require a lot of interconnections.
Maybe it is why mind maps never spoke to me. I felt that a tree structure (or even - planar graphs) were not enough to cover any sufficiently complex topic.
If it has hard or soft links, its a proper graph.
On Linux at least, hard links can't be made to directories, except for the magic . and .. links. So this only allows for a DAG.
Symbolic links can form a graph, and you can process them as needed using readlink etc. to traverse the graph, but they'll still be considered broken if they form a cycle.
I guess technically you could do bind mounts but that's messy
Considered broken by what?

That what i was thinking! Instead of Wiki links, use Symlinks (i guess windows would not like it?)
Isn't text a basic linear structure that can cover sufficiently complex topics ?
Yes. And precisely for this reason reading a dictionary is not a way of learning a language.
