To my philosophy professor John Strang from PSU who introduced me to argument maps 25 years before I began this project. An internet search for him today turned up only a brief biography and an ethics paper he wrote.
You have reached the landing page of a live experiment whose goal is to develop by trial and error a genre of argument map that goes beyond little boxes with terse phrases inside them, connected by arrows and forming a tree. When fully developed, this document organizes beliefs into a web of connected claims. Each claim has a dedicated page containing discussion, citations, and links to other claims that support or challenge it.
There is only one argument map, but the argument map may have multiple landing pages. Each landing page lists key beliefs about a topic to explore.
