C.nnect the D.ts






These are screen shots from a power point that represent the non-linear time line I am proposing.

This non-linear time line is based of the way that that neurons form ideas; connecting to eachother through related information. I built the model as an interactive face. I had hoped to make it into a tourable website however the scripting became a problem due to time and knowledge constraints.

Basically bits of information are connected to make cohesive ideas that exist autonomously from the rest of the information. Interactivity allows the user to form specific questions.
Who was there? A: Betty, Mark, Chris
Who is Betty? A: Betty is the beautiful girl like.
What did Betty do? A: Betty brought cookies over.
What else happenend? A: The cookies were stolen.
By Who? A: By Mark.
Why? A: Because he wanted to play a prank on you.

By going through a process of illimination of information a specific and unique collection of data creates a simple idea of the event:

The girl you like, Betty, brought you cookies that were stolen by Mark as a joke.

However, this remains just a piece in an over all event. The advantage of this model, however is time is not the only non-linear element. Information is divided into pieces and is refused unless it is asked for. This allows the user to ask specific question and retreive specific answers without having to sort through unnecessary information or be confused by it.
