A ‘context’ sets the stage, ‘collections’ are a series of events that together form a story, ‘context’ are key elements in the plot, and ‘connections’ are the sequence of actions that form the drama.

A ‘context’ is a landscape, ‘collections’ are possible ways to travel, ‘concepts’ are possible roads to travel on, and ‘connections’ are the movements you make through the landscape.

A ‘context’ offers a frame of meaning, ‘collections’ are a series of random ideas, ‘concepts’ are possible anchor points that are extracted from the ideas, and ‘connections’ form a flow of possible logic as we place the concepts side-by-side.
