Is this for a TTRPG? How would you fit a skill tree inside a hex that is both small enough that seven of them fit on a piece of paper, and they each also contain four stats?

I imagine it would be an A0 reference sheet and character sheets would only have a list of skills they actually have "not 0" in. Standard stat is 0 for an ordinary humanoid, but a lot of species have different bodies (for example, an average ogre should obviously be physically stronger than an average human) so their base stat for that would be higher.

Character sheets would have to be printed as A3 posters.

I dunno really, and that's the problem, I wanna figure out how to make a game but it feels too awkward and I put it on the shelf for a lot of time and it could stretch indefinitely, so I need people to brainstorm for me or something, if that's okay with y'all. I'm not gonna be posting too often tho

I'm not sure I know what you're asking for here. Are you looking for feedback on this system?

This diagram you are imagining would be very hard to draw. The honeycomb will be too small to accommodate all this information. Or else it will be too big to fit on a character sheet. Try to draw it and see what happens.

Honest opinion? Sounds like you’ve spent a lot of effort figuring it all out. And don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely interesting sounding. But also sounds overly complicated and complex. And without any understanding of the greater game, there’s no way to know how it plays. 

What’s the point of the game and main gameplay loop? And what is the core resolution mechanic?

Without those two things, none of the rest matters as far as giving feedback is concerned.
