Divergence and emergence
- Networked thinking is based on two key principles: divergence and emergence.
- Starting from any relevant node in the network, the divergent phase consists in branching out from that original point in many directions, without trying to evaluate the validity of any particular idea.
- When enough nodes are added to the network, patterns start to emerge. It may be specific clusters, or strong ties between particular nodes.
- Divergence and emergence allow networked thinkers to uncover non-obvious interconnections and explore second-order consequences of seemingly isolated phenomena.
