A useful survey of current efforts. However, I don't see what I want here: depth. The third dimension. Yes, we think visually. But we also aggressively compartmentalize. We rigorously group things into mental boxes, dig into the boxes when necessary, or stick them in our mental attic while concerns are elsewhere.

There are examples of grouping and some clear hierarchies. But our mental processes are more complex. Things can exist in multiple boxes, boxes can overlap, crosscut, have different priorities, constraints, etc. Conventional hierarchies are too simple.
