In our discussion yesterday, we thought of something like a context 
stack. If we think of a real GUI i can imagine such a stack list in the 
lower left corner. if u click on one of items in the context it 
disappears. But in real the Context isn't a stack its a 
Graph/TopicMapFragment too.

And now i come to your second part, the adaption.
We thought of a neural net, that learns, what topics are clicked often, 
and learns the pathes often traversed in the TopicMap.
With this neural net another intelligent way of creating Views is 
provided. With such a neural net statistical inference can be done and 
new associations can be proposed to the user.

You are right, sometimes the prediction the systems mades is total 
bulls**** so there has to be a "slap" button :-)
But we always came to the conclusion, the computer cannot know what you 
want. You should download your brain first :-)
