Agreed that our brain comprehension goes far beyond just a static graph. Ultimately I want to see all functions as fluid, which can answer dynamic questions like "show me the journey from this input data to that database update query". I think namespace/module/class/method are all valid ways to help organize this mental understanding, but they're also in a rigid form and failed to capture the dynamic nature. I think a 2D graph like Codemap opens up the rigidity a bit, but not entirely yet.

The path you describe ("input data to database query") is most certainly representable by a graph. I'm not sure what you mean by "static graph." I do believe our memory is persistent, "static," and finite. We hold discrete pieces of information and connections between them. Aka, a graph.
