Cattell’s covariation chart (after Cattell 1952), showing two different dimensions of analysis along the three coordinates of the cube: Person, Variable, and Occasion.

Simplified schematic representation of coupled growers in dynamic modeling: Each step in development depends on the preceding steps of the same subsystem. But in addition, the state of the system at one point in time is affect by the preceding steps in other subsystems.
