• The theme of “Network”: Concept System, Diagram Network, and Knowledge Frameworks
• The theme of “Path”: Activity, Knowledge, and Moving on Diagrams

This article aims to discuss the theme of “Concept” because it turns a diagram into a framework. The above diagram uses the Ecological Formism Framework as a map to show a story.
