Several comments, Joseph,
I can't imagine the scientific method being stretched, easily, to cover
your interest. As soon as we add layers to the system it becomes too
complex to attach numbers to; or the number of combinations becomes so
large that it would take millions of years to complete the experiments:
in which time we would have become extinct. Genetics is an area with
thousands of variables. The problem was managed by subtracting one gene
at a time from complete cells to compare properties.
Can you see a possibility for experimenting along those lines ? Or of
making a software model that can be run many times.
The ancient Chinese used repetitive contemplation for ordering their
lives. That was and is a system.
Mind Mapping follows structure. You could ask people in the field. You
could just try Googling the question to see if anybody understands it.
A good question.

I'm curious, is there any research on spaced repetition within systems
of knowledge? I know the classical research on memory for isolated
facts/associations, showing the exponential decay of likelihood of
remembering, becoming shallower with each recall. But a lot of our
knowledge has some structure, like hierarchical sub-steps of steps of
larger processes, complementary information.
Is there any research on how recalling one item in these structures
affect likelihood of recall for others?
