Matrix Thinking (Definition)

method for integrating apparently unrelated concepts by titling table columns with ideas from one concept, rows with another, and forcing new ideas from each pair.

===
How does [column noun] [force verb] [row noun]?
Example: "How does ecclesiology mitigate undefined fear?

force verb: mitigate	ecclesiology	integration	cognition	formation
undefined fear	secure identity	systems perspective	continuous learning	Spirit-shaping
excitement	fond community	holistic context	informed trajectory	Spirit-directing
inadequacy	divine gifts	flexible means	internal improvement	Spirit-healing
ability	shared task	applied breadth	chastened assurance	Spirit-powered
