Nice. Much more convoluted than GitHub charts,
but very interesting.
If we can apply this kind of interaction charts
to movies, novels and software systems, then
we can apply it in principle to any complex
adaptive system (CAS), perhaps even to
"psychological" systems. Maybe it is possible
to describe somehow the stream of thought
which is caused by a certain stream of events?
If we take a look at the original graphic
at
http://xkcd.com/657/ or
http://xkcd.com/657/large/then unconscious activities may correspond
to smooth, uniform flow (the 12 angry men graph),
whereas conscious activities may correspond
to chaotic, turbulent flow (the primer graph),
especially if they involve the self.
What do you think?

This will be of interest, I hope, to some of us following the "family-tree"
of software linguistics. It's cude, but an interest start.
