MENTAL MAP

MENTAL MAP
This mental map is supposed to stand for the semantic network that represents Genesis chapters 1-3 basically from the beginning of the universe until Adam and Eve got thrown out of paradise, and before all the "begating" began. The technology uses natural language processing to identify words and the parts of speech (remember diagramming sentences in grade school?) and then renders a network visualization. The most "important" words are shown as a network (red=most most important, yellow=2nd, plain=3rd) and the connections represent semantic connections by the author.

The network represents the "mental map" that the average reader gets after reading the text. This was basically an advertisement for computerized text analysis software, showing an example of the mental maps most readers created in their minds after completion of reading the text.
