This is a key to genius - where Divergent Thinking and Convergent Thinking.

Genius relies on a second quality: integration. First, we must think in a divergent way - to open up possibility. Second, we must think in an integrated way, meaning studying the different approaches for understanding something. Different approaches might be:

  1. Interdisciplinary - covering multiple disciplines of knowledge
  2. Integrated - covering multiple disciplines of know-how. Knowhow is practical knowledge. Integrated learning would include knowledge, know-how, and knowledge by acquaintance [1] such as knowing London or how a food tastes.
  3. Multimodal - using different modalities of the 4 human ones of VARK
  4. Multimedia - 'integration of multiple forms of content such as text, audio, images, video, and interactive elements into a single digital platform'
