Diagram Explained: Space, Thematic Space, and Activity System +

Turning a Model into a Canvas

In the previous articles, I discussed four themes about knowledge diagrams:

• The theme of “Hierarchy”: The Ecological Formism Approach to Diagrams
• The theme of “Network”: Concept System, Diagram Network, and Knowledge Frameworks
• The theme of “Path”: Activity, Knowledge, and Moving on Diagrams
• The theme of “Concept”: Themes, Concepts, and Situational Diagrams

This article aims to discuss the theme of “Space” because it is related to Situational Diagrams.

I will use the Activity System Model as an example for our discussion. See the above diagram. Part 1 will tell the story and Part 2 moves on to discuss the theme of “Space” from the perspective of Thematic Space Theory (TST).
