Phylogenetic map analysis

[zzlk]

You can think of a map as a set of decisions. It's then possible to ask which maps are a subset or superset of another map. If map A is a subset of another map B i.e. every decision in B is also in A, then it's reasonable to conclude that A is a descendant of B, or in other words, A is an edit of B. That won't often be the case because some decisions replace other decisions in the set.

I'm sure biology literature has solved this and we can just borrow their techniques for this.
