Eight types of structures of context for Attachance

Last year I combined Attach and Chance and coined a new term Attachance. I am working on developing the Attachance idea.

The below is eight diagrams for discussing structure of context for Attachance.

Other as Context

a is an entity, b is another one entity. This structure means Other as Context. a a attaches to b, b detaches from a.

Network as Context

a is an entity. A is a network, B is another network. This structure means a detaches from network A and attaches to network B.

Reference:

Padgett used Network Folding to describe the novelty-making processes and identified eight network folding mechanisms.
