Framing

A concept map is a process that transforms related terms into a visible structure of meaning, aligning individual perspectives into a shared mental model.

Summary

A concept map makes understanding tangible. It translates the fluid relationships in our minds into a shared, visible structure that others can examine, critique, and build upon. The process moves from collecting and refining terms to defining their relationships, shaping structure, and designing a legible form. Collaboration ensures alignment on scope and meaning; design clarifies and refines expression. The finished map is not an end but a cycle—an evolving model of understanding that turns thought into form and returns form to thought.
