Techniques to support combinational creativity

Techniques to support Combinational creativity¹:

1. How does A impact B? eg. How does the Generation effect impact Distinction?
2. Clustering. What does A and B have in common? Strengthens each idea.
3. Compare and contrast. How is A similar and different from B (and vice-versa)?

These are similar to the questions put forward in The NoMa Method. Linking them can be done through maps of content or Concept mapping. Although The map is not the territory it is an important guide to my knowledge.

Backlinks are important in a text tool for identifying previously unseen relationships.
