Well Found Mikhail!

Naturally many of us will take issue with many of the details, relationships and attributions shown here, but as a rough, high-level sketch it has some merit.   The more egregious issues have to do with specific attributions, implied precedence,  and the most recent additions (e.g.web science, e-science, global network society...).   Most of this is handled in the "fine print" provided by the author/artist, so I'm not "complaining", just noticing.

What I'm (yet) more interested in is this general approach to trying to organize/diagram/depict the complex relationships between scientific (and mathematical) (sub) fields as they influence eachother and evolve over time.

This is an area I am actively working in (trying to understand the evolving and emerging relationships among scientific/mathematical disciplines and topics).

I'd be curious to hear others' ideas and opinions about how these kinds of concepts can be understood (structurally, visually, spatially, even metaphorically).
