non-linear discourse

Non-linear discourse refers to a way of communicating or analyzing ideas that doesn't follow a straightforward, step-by-step sequence. Instead of a clear beginning, middle, and end, it jumps between topics, ideas, or perspectives, often revisiting certain points or making connections in a non-sequential manner. This approach reflects more natural, complex patterns of thought and conversation, allowing for varied perspectives, associations, or insights to emerge freely. It’s common in creative writing, conversations, and complex discussions where ideas evolve organically rather than following a fixed linear path.
