“For it is not a question of linking consequences, but of grouping and isolating, of analysing, of matching and pigeon-holing concrete contents; there is nothing more tentative, nothing more empirical (superficially, at least) than the process of establishing an order among things; nothing that demands a sharper eye or a surer, better-articulated language; nothing that more insistently requires that one allow oneself to be carried along by the proliferation of qualities and forms.”

Foucault, Michel. “The Order of Things: An Archaeology of Human Sciences.”


Few years ago I watched a video by the late Murray Gell-Mann (RIP) where he called this process "incubation."
