* Dates on the upper line satisfy the equation y = 2015-x. Corresponding works were published in the year x = 2015-y and are set in the year x+y = 2015. | * Dates on the upper line satisfy the equation y = 2015-x.

Thus it's clear that the definitions of the lines are consistent with each other as they follow similar but inverted functions. | Thus it's clear that the definitions of the lines are consistent with each other as they follow similar but inverted functions. | ||
− | The graph uses variable {{w|logarithmic scale}}s, adjusting the scale in various regions to the temporal density of works being plotted. If the scale | + | The graph uses variable {{w|logarithmic scale}}s, adjusting the scale in various regions to the temporal density of works being plotted. If the scale was linear, the graph would in fact represent a (bidimensional) {{w|Minkowski diagram}}, which depicts the moving cones of past and future in spacetime as one's present advances in time. |
