Good Thinking, Good Writing


Diachronic and Synchronic

Diachronic and Synchronic are two logics of order, meaning and expression which oppose and/or complement one another.

Diachronic: the sequential logic of a road


Synchronic: the all-at-once logic of a pool

Diachronic

Synchronic

Process
Structure
"What Comes After What"
"What Goes With What"
Cause and Effect Order
Associative Order (non-sequential)
Meaning from Plot, Sequence
Meaning from Proximity, Contrast and Similarity
Anticipation and Satisfaction
Connections and Patterns
Like a road you're traveling down
Like a pool of people and objects you climb into
