I don't have a diagram and I would not know how to draw one. The idea is that a great deal of information can be related to different kinds of concepts that might be considered central to some idea. I have figured out a way that I should be able to experiment with the idea using concrete examples expressed with simple language. This experiment will not be a true AGI program but it should allow me to see if the structural conceptual networks idea is feasible as a way to represent an AGI program.
