Mind maps

Mind maps are indentation-based, unlike the edge families. A central topic sits at the hub, top-level - (or *) bullets are its branches, and deeper-indented bullets are their children.

central: (aliases root:, center:) sets the hub, falling back to title: or the first bare line.
The shallowest bullet indent is the branch level; anything deeper is a child of the branch above. Two-space and four-space indentation both work.
Branch bullets take [color] and [icon: …]; children take [icon].
