ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Space of flows

Space of flows is a way of viewing the world and within it different connections and activities. The idea is that instead of seeing the world as a place made up of different physical spaces (such as countries, cities, or homes), we can consider it to be composed of different flows (of people, ideas, money, goods, etc). This means that instead of looking at just the physical characteristics of the world, you can also look at the different connections between things and the activities that are happening at any given moment. For example, you can think about how many people are traveling from one country to another, how goods are being traded between two countries, or how many people are talking online about a certain topic. All of these different flows help us understand how the world is changing and how different places and people interact.
