The Two Sequences (2016)

January 23, 2016. Stop thinking chronologically, start thinking spatially.

Chronological thinking is represented in the following sequence: scroll, book, ebookblog. For each of these you start reading at time one and finish reading at time two. The only twist with the blog is that the pages are presented in reverse chronological order. It also carries such refinements, since it is pure digital publishing, as being able to embed multi-media. 

There is, however, a second sequence, which is not so well known. That is of the picture scroll, graph, egraph, map. In this sequence knowledge is presented spatially. In the sequence a graph is a collection of nodes and links and an egraph is such a graph presented digitally. A "map," such as those presented by DebateGraph, has as its basis the node and link in the same way the basis for the blog is the page, but it carries its own set of refinements. As an example of a spatial View at DebateGraph, try any of the Graph Views.

Time can be an element within the DebateGraph maps (things can be dated), but it ceases to be the organizing principle; space is now the organizing principle.
