The Problem is that I can not collapse from the bottom up. Because then I could happen that I use Nodes which are not used higher up.

→ Solution collapse top down. → I think this could lead to many cases where the generation fails. → And why even create all the nodes if there never used and deleted in the next step anyway.

Idea: → Have a hiracle creation process. - Decide an amount on level the level - Type to collapse to a valid sub tree. - If not possible try an other amount. → If no amount is possible return not valid.
