I love that idea—think of it as a scaffold: each node is a clear milestone, each edge a path you’re sure about, but keep some “loose” edges where you can bend the direction. You lay the skeleton first, then sprinkle in those creative twists like extra loops that only appear when you feel inspired. It’s the same balance I use in a good diagram—rigid enough to hold, flexible enough to breathe. Just remember that perfect alignment is an illusion; the real art is in the adjustments you make while you’re moving.
