We compare the many characters in the story to the individual elements in the whole. These elements are relatively independent of each other but there are also times when they intersect (negotiation). We treat each intersection as a point in the space, and let each element move freely among the points (related to it) according to their own timeline, thus forming an orderly time and space, allowing the original story to be told Smash and reorganize into a net rich in another flavor.
