"Graph" in computer science. If the relationships had arrows, "Directed graph". And if there are no cycles, "Directed acyclic graph, DAG"
I use “flow chart”.
As there are no arrows suggesting a flow, I guess it’s a network graph with nodes and relationships
Looks like essentially all existing applications on the market use the term "diagram" as the umbrella term. Your three example images so far could be further narrowed as "node diagrams".
First instinct was flow chart - the other suggested terms here are either too generic, or too technical/esoteric
If you're progressing from A through to others then this would probably be a flow chart (sequential); if it's not sequential then maybe a mind map or concept map?
Graph. It's just not acyclic, nor directed.
I feel like "diagram" could be used to describe it. The shape reminds me of a Pert Diagram at least.
(undirected) graph
Network diagram
