From ideas to conceptual framework

When we have an idea on something, we are in the state of ideation. During the ideation, we imagine and think to develop the idea.

To explain or express the idea to others, we can either conceptualize the idea in words or visualize the idea in images.

In the conceptualization process, we choose words or phrases to construct sentences which explain the idea. Alternatively, we can connect words or phrases using lines and shapes, i.e. in a form of diagram. A diagram that consists of all key concepts associating with the idea and depicts the relationship between all those concepts is called a conceptual framework.
