Clock time is not what most people think it is. It was created, and it is frequently altered and adjusted to fit social and political purposes.

We live with these realities because they make the rest of our lives feel manageable. But time did not have to be arranged that way. We have  imagined  time, at least in Western countries, as subservient to commerce, and attempted to export or forcibly impose that understanding worldwide.

When I diagram, I start by setting a diagrammatic intention. This provides focus as I research the audience I seek to serve and set the diagrammatic scope that best aligns to those decisions at the diagrammatic scale I am working at.

Diagrams, maps, web pages, information graphics, visual instructions, and technical illustrations all help us to solve problems through a process of visual thinking.
