As to the contents, I did not understand this part. +Notes on interpretation: + +'=E2=95=AC' (or variants thereof, like =E2=95=AA) is meant to be a "pa= th bridge", i.e. +traversal is only "allowed" horizontal OR vertical direction. + +Branching: +C D E F G +=E2=95=A0=E2=95=90=E2=95=AC=E2=95=90=E2=95=A9=E2=95=90=E2=95=A9=E2=95=90= =E2=95=9D A->{C,E,F,G} and B->D. +A B So the horizontal line bridge goes over the vertical road between B and= D and these two will not get connection to anything else. That part I understand. (1) Why then is that horizontal bridge connected to E, F and G? Do pluses and inverted Ts have different meaning? What about the sideway T between A and C? (2) If you want to express D is merge between A and B, and C, E, F, G = are independent children of A, how would you write it? Did you mean "Connection with three legs (T, inverted T, sideways T) me= an all sides are connected, connection with four legs (+) mean horizontal = and vertical are independent and disconnected"?
