I created this mindmap to illustrate a big system that I built.
As I am describing it, I need to have a small portion of the mindmap along with the text, so that the reader understands better which part I am writing about.
Is it possible to show only a part of the mindmap? Maybe a "zoom in" effect or "isolate" a branch or "focus"? Ideas are welcome. One idea is to have a portion like this:
UPDATED question to show what I got so far and put the code in a single file.
Here is the MWE:

With the suggestions by @jet, executing the code above I get a nice path around the blue part the with \drawcommand. I thought that now that I visually validate the area to be cliped I just substitute \draw with \clip. But what happens is I get the some joints from other nodes:
Here is the picture with the \draw command and next, with the \clip command:
I believe the problem might be in last part of the tikzpicture, the pgfonlayer. I just used it to link the dark blue node (that is not a child of the main node) to the other nodes. I do not know other way to do it.
And I don't want to clip/trim a pdf because I want to keep the nodes referenceable.
clipa part of your mindmap.viewslibrary, but I've never used it.viewslibrary only works with rectangle shapes\input{mindmap-texforum1.tikz}. I am using background layer to create connections between nodes that are not childs of the main node (the dark blue node that says Laaaa. I did not know how to do it other way.
