Paradigm Map

The group paradigm map shows how three individual theses stand relative to each other and existing paradigms in systematics. In order to explain the process and logic behind the arrangement of terms and subjects in this map, a diagram shows the preliminary arrangement of terms according to each thesis, and then how this information is used to map the terms according to shared interest. Additional constraints and rules in the addition of texts and projects allow each term to grow in volume, or fade away, as thesis evolves so that the map creates a visual representation of the areas and terms of importance. Steps 5 onwards illustrate how we see this process being repeated in the future to reveal a new paradigm map of the theses relative to each other and existing paradigms, and possibly even the creation of new paradigms.
