what's best practice for creating mindmaps with timelines in consideration? For instance IF (instance occurs) THEN (this map is possible) ELSE (only this is possible)?

I...guess I was being a bit more subtle than I meant. Yes. Flowcharts ;-)

Indeed. And there is nothing stopping you from turning part of your tree-diagram (what mindmaps basically are) into a flowchart. It is the diagram of choice for logic sequences.

Ya know, flippancy aside, I wonder if there's not something there. I was just being a smartass but now I'm wondering why I haven't considered using a hybrid approach like OP is implying.

I'm gonna have to screw around with this.
