Horizontal Modalities

Horizontal modalities refer to the different ways in which information, meaning, or communication can be expressed across various contexts along a horizontal spectrum rather than vertically (hierarchically). They involve comparing and understanding different modes or methods of conveying ideas, such as visual, verbal, or tactile approaches, within the same level of context or system. This concept emphasizes flexibility and diversity in how information is transmitted or experienced, highlighting that multiple modalities can coexist and complement each other to enhance understanding, interaction, or expression across different fields like language, technology, or communication.
