Here is the definition from my Merriam'Webster dictionary:
1 a : a place constructed of or full of intricate passageways and blind alleys
b : a maze (as in a garden) formed by paths separated by high hedges
2 : something extremely complex or tortuous in structure, arrangement, or
character : intricacy, perplexity
<a labyrinth of swamps and channels>
<guided them through the labyrinths of city life — Paul Blanshard>
3 : a tortuous anatomical structure; especially : the internal ear or
its bony or membranous part
Something with only one possible route isn't complex in structure.

Incorrect:
A labyrinth is a single path or unicursal tool for personal, psychological
and spiritual transformation.

What people are talking about mapping is seen as a meditation tool, and has
no side passages.
