The mind map is very useful. The colour co-ordination also provides some clear idea of chapters. What we now need to do is translate this into a sequence of chapters. This means being able to elaborate how each chapter contributes to the overall argument. This does not have to be a neat sequence, but could be a series of premises that culminate in a conclusion.
