The causal models that we have developed in this article can be visualized in a graphical language inspired from geometry. The model of creativity then becomes a model in which creative steps are lines that add up to stretch further and further out into the unknown left. By contrast, the model used to study diversification becomes a model in which opposite forces act like axes that span planes and spaces right. In mathematical terms, the two models shown here are the same as those of Fig. 2C and D. Each graphical style has its merit. The present lines-planes representation is better at illustrating mathematical aspects, while the previous causal Venn diagram better illustrates aspects of logic. The workings of the model on the right are also explained in my video available online at https://doi.org/10.25496/W2QP46. Source: Dan C. Baciu. License: CC-BY.
