Temporal research

Moment of inquiry: Year (can be exchanged with space, moment, person, building, genre, etc)

Exploration: Isolation of four items from various areas of experience/knowledge
- science
- popular culture (music, film, comics, TV)
- history
- current events
- literature
- advertising
- area of study (one’s major)
- politics
- and so on

Synthesis: Finding the pattern. At the moment of overlap
- idea
- word
- concept
Something repeats. That moment of repetition is the moment of insight. X (the pattern) is a new insight into a moment, place, person, etc.

X becomes the claim.

The evidence is the initial research.

The arrangement into a writing may take any number of forms (medium).
