Global Orientation Mini-Map with Smart Level-of-detail Zoom capabilities
Current visualisation problem:
Dense or large brains make it difficult to remember where the current view sits within the overall knowledge structure. Conventional zoom mainly changes scale; it does not adapt the amount or meaning of information shown, so large views become cluttered and small views become uninformative.
Proposed improvement:
Provide a persistent, interactive mini-map showing the whole brain or selected region, the current viewport, major clusters, and the active thought. Make zoom levels semantic: show detailed thoughts nearby, summarized groups at medium scale, and major domains or supernodes at global scale.
Expected benefit:
Users retain global orientation, recover context quickly, and navigate long distances without losing their place, they can move smoothly between overview and detail while preserving meaning and reducing cognitive load.

Now that TheBrain 15 became multi-screen compatible this feature would boost the overall insight and productivity of our brains tremendously!
